After reading the article, I decided to give Kazaa a try and see for myself how hard it was to download her song.
I did a search for American Life and of course the search found tons of songs. One song of a certain size was found with 23 users sharing the same version. I downloaded it, and voila..the complete song with no skips or profanities from her.
I don't really care for her music (or for herself for that matter) so I deleted it, but I found it pretty funny how I found the song on the first attempt.
I guess if Madonna can't make headlines for her (good) music, she needs to find ways to make headlines by other methods. Almost seems like it is "free advertising" for her to make headlines about how it will be "difficult" to download her new crappy song single.

| 1) Its her freaking fans.... When you tell people who buy your over priced music then tell then to go fu*k themselves, personally I would be extremly pissed! I stopped buying Metalica crap. And though I never liked Madonna if I got that little treat I would download every single album she ever made and share it w/ the whole world!!! muahahaha 
My personal opinion on Rich Celeberties against pirating is: If they loose a few thousand record sales (and lose on millions) and still make millions on recordsales, tours, and merchandise they have no reason to complain... All this shows Madonnas greed and also what she really thinks of her fans that made her the rich material whore that she is today.. |

Nothing new, this has been done before and it doesn't work. I remember a couple years ago Barenaked Ladies tried that same thing. Except they added their little insults to the file and made it bigger then it was supposed to be. Then it became dead easy to spot the fake file based on file size alone and I actually ran across a site with a whole list of people sharing the fake file. Not too mention with any of these P2P apps, you could probably listen to the file as it downloads and delete it before it's finished downloading if it's fake. This will only work with complete noobs that don't know what they're doing. Otherwise it sounds more like a lame attempt for Madonna to get some media attention because she's become a complete has been.

It also won't work because an mp3 can be downloaded from Kazaa in less than a minute with a good broadband connection. Do a search, and download 10 or 15 different versions, in less than 30 minutes, and keep the mp3 that's not fake. |

Yeah, I'm a metalhead, but I decided that it would be a riot to hear that dumb broad cuss me out. Oh, but low-and-behold, I COULDN'T FIND THE FAKE VERSION! I downloaded about 6 different filesizes--all the correct song. |
