Hacked For the Very First Time

She got what she deserved for making that song in the first place, she is fading in the music industry and needed someting to spark the attention of others and make her knowned again

GO BUSH!!!! I like your slogan.

What's going to be funny is when these losers who hacked her site are caught and prosecuted. Can't wait...

You can wait if you want to, just don't hold your breath! On second thought ... go ahead hold it ...

Preferrably underwater while holding on to 2 220 high voltage lines.

You all realize that Madonna got exactly what she wanted out of this, right? She's made the headlines twice in the last couple days by recording 8 words. I'm sure she couldn't care less about the fact that her website was down for a few hours. The hackers just made it into an even bigger story. Bravo!

The real question is whether or not someone really hacked her site or if even that was a PR stunt.

Madonna who?

This song is not just one of her tricks, I am from Serbia and Montenegro , and trust me this song has meaning here in Europe... That single is the best thing she made, no matter I disagree with her about war , about USA .....
I am not patriot in my country, my dream is to live in USA, and I would be patriot there... many of u people are not aware what u got in USA , and I don't mean material....
MADONNA was and she will always be part of American dream!!!!

OMG as if we didn't all see THIS coming!

I have a feeling she probably knew something like this was going to happen, so that more free press for her new album would be generated.

It's a brilliant publicity play; nothing more, nothing less. Same as releasing the video in Europe and not in the US. Would MTV play it in the US? Sure, but that doesn't grab the headlines like this does.

The artists (not here to argue semantics) who get downloaded the most on P2P systems are also the ones who sell the most CDs; think of it less as theft (again, not arguing semantics) as the new barometer of your Q Rating as a musician.

"Intellectual Property" (snicker)

"Intellectual Property", is an oxymoron that far surpasses, "Military Intelligence ", in its sheer absurdity.

MTV wouldnt play it here. dont know if you've watched it in oh.. the past 5 years but they're not the pillars of free speech and reaching out to teens like they say the do. MTV is more PC than the Lifetime Network and if they think something will tarnish their "great" image, they wont play it. they're a 'family' channel now....

To madonna. well, what did ya expect?

Of course not. What do you think they are, a music station? I think they might have been at one time, maybe back in the '80s, but it's been so long I don't even remember.

Why should I give an idiot like you access to my intellectual brilliance if you are not prepared to pay for it?

Because you're nice?

Amen! You also have to think back to when she said it wasn't appropriate to release the video at the time because it was anti-war. Anyone with any self respect wouldn't have even mentioned the video (or made it in the first place). Whatever plasters her old, tired face all over the news is worth it to her.

I think she just can't handle it that her husband is more successful than she currently is and much more artistic to boot.

Right on, hackers

That's too good...too goood...

Isn't Morgan Webb the woman on The Screen Savers?

Yeah, Morgan is the blond girl on techtv.

Here is an image of her

morgan is such a hottie

agreed. morgan is supah dupah fine. but more importantly, she's a geekgirl.

just had to see that pic again...

no matter what side you agree with on the piracy issue....you gotta love it when Madonna gets the "what for"....I know I love it..

LOL.... Serves her right... dumb h0

hahaha thats great. i love it. put that bitch back in her place.

rock on people rock on.

I guess Madonna didn't think she had enough money....dumbass.

Good for you, random hacker.

Good, I used to like madonna, not anymore. I remember right before the New tupac cd came out not too long ago, it too me forever to find the real versions of the song becuase I got tons of stuff that was just the first 5 seconds of the song over and over again.

Kinda poetic.

I don't support downloading stuff that you don't already own license to, but I still think this is funny.

Boo ya I'm Glad!

funny sheet tho...

i wonder where those links actually pointed to?

And that would be to boycott all RIAA music labels. Don't buy their products. Don't download their artist's tracks. (You don't want them shaking you down for $150k a track)

Tell your friends. Spread the word. NOTHING will change as long as they are making money.

You can change that. One person at a time, the money train can be stopped.

How long will it take the "material girl" to change her tune after the gravy train stops??

How may lawyers and politicians can the RIAA buy after they run out of money?? Time to hurt them good. (I personally haven't purchased or downloaded a track for at least 6 months, and I don't plan to change that any time soon)

I went to kazaa and downloaded the song a bunch of times at different sizes and qualities but didn't find this bogus file she released. What did she think she was doing? Didn't effect anyone with the garbage she calls music. I could have swore that her music was half way decent when she was young and started but now all I hear is garbage.

haha serves you right, no one likes you $hitty music, and stop thinking yor hot, you like 40 something, get out of music you old hag, and rock on to those 1337 hax0rs

Hey, 40 is not THAT old ! You can still be hot !
Man, looking at my mid-section make me think you may be right after all

lmao:)

serves her right!

I was lucky enough to see the website hacked. It brought a tear to me eye.

i wanna mary Morgan Webb too, and do stuff to her that no geek could do

Yeah, well my hard disk is way bigger than your little floppy disk!

LOL couldn't resist the sophomoric humor.

where did we get off on the topic of Morgan Webb??? I missed that post, But yeas she is hot I saw here at CES this year Chaka Kan!

She got what she deserved alright. Fear the net Madonna, you can't control it like you do with the material world.

Don't Mess.

Long live p2p.

....what the F*ck were YOU thinking??

LOL! This story is just funny!

I went to the madonna.com website to check it out, and I noticed her real website was back up. I chose the "flash" version of her website, but it didn't work because I only have Flash 5 installed, and it wanted Flash 6, but there is not a Flash 6 for my hardware (yet).

Not only that, but it resized my Netscape window to such a point where I could not exit out of my Netscape. I actually had to go and kill my Netscape process (I am using UNIX). And when I restarted Netscape I still had to scroll over to my adjoining virtual desktop to resize my Netscape.

I have mixed feelings about website designers that have taken the internet protocols to such a point. There is nothing wrong with a flash website, but why do you have to make it automatically go to full screen and disable my window borders? Isn't it possible that some of us might be doing something else besides wanting to check out the Madonna site? If I wanted a full-screen presentation shouldn't that choice be left up to end user?

If it wasn't for the fact that I have a virtual desktop (i.e. My desktop area is several times larger than my monitor - I can scroll of the edge of my screen onto another one) It might have taken me quite some time to fix this problem.

And for all that flashiness, no security to go with it. Hmmm.

As far as the file sharing thing, the file sharing laws vary from country to country. Apparently, in some countries, it's OK to share music for personal uses, you just can't sell it for a profit - I guess maybe she's just trying to make a statement about American Life.

American life - bitch about file sharing, get your website hacked.

PS - Here is an interesting article I just found, you may want to check it out if you have not already...

what the f**K did you think was gonna happen by provoking file traders, what a dumb h0, her move to record those fake tracks was as stupid as the idiots who released them or even came up with the idea. That kind of move makes me want to download it, then delete it. Naaaaah, why waste valuable space on my hard drive.
