Atonement for Your Illegal Downloading Sins: $5

11/30/07, 6:17 pm EST


Feeling bad because you just downloaded the entire Prince catalog in less than fifteen minutes? Disappointed at yourself for not paying anything for Radiohead’s In Rainbows? Let Dear Rockers help you make amends (or at minimum clear your conscience). In the tradition of anonymous whisper site PostSecret, Dear Rockers asks Soulseekers and Bit Torrenteers to write an artful letter of apology to artists whose music they may have downloaded illegally. The result is an amusing Web site that posts the letters fans write to bands like Wolf Parade and Whitney Houston asking for forgiveness. The price of atonement: $5, sent to the band’s management or official fan club (Dear Rockers provides all the addresses). Props go to the girl who sent Axl Rose five bucks in change. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, your check is in the mail.

“Well see, when I’m selling 1,000,000s of copies of my novel and album (which are both coming along quite nicely)!”

Why don’t you start your own 1-800 Psychic Hotline business instead? You’ll earn a lot more money faking it.

I`ll send a check and an apology, as soon as all these “megastars” send me an apology and refund check for all their price gouging they`re doing on their over inflated concert ticket prices.

Well see, when I’m selling 1,000,000s of copies of my novel and album (which are both coming along quite nicely)! We’ll see who’s where in two years. I don’t need your endorsement or confidence in what I do for me to succeed. My future success is an inevitability! Even now I’m living a creative interior life that you could only dream about! Enjoy your life’s work in the shipping and receiving field!

“No. It means “your check is in the mail.””

Wishful thinking.

“Your check is in the mail”? - lol
In other words, “sorry, we don’t have any money to pay you”.
