[mrallen816]

[juanitomma]

[catman88fan]

[TheMavis2000]

you sure are a WEIRDO

[ZeRlDDLA]

wow this kid is immortal

[MasterPoke512]

Ya Lars Ulrich Reference! :D

[cdmcowcam]

Says not to download illegal music because it steals money.

Drives a Lambo and screams at underpayed employees.

[TheRkaperak]

@cdmcowcam i guess you did not catch the joke where he said "dont steal from artists like me, how else could i afford another solid gold SUV or a diamond studded pool," etc.? He was making fun of the fact that the people who wouldnt even miss the money complain about it

[tigerlep9]

is it really that easy 2 escape prison >.> horrible security

[tigerlep9]

1:10 it's a tommy gun! he must b part of the mafia XD

[tigerlep9]

i never download songs i just goto youtube lol and plus if i did i wouldn't feel guilty lol

[ccifelli424]

Lars Ulrich downloaded his own St. Anger album. Why? Because no one else would.

[nick20401]

sounds like we are the world by michael jackson

[CultureShockSix]

</3 and the most ironic thing of all?

it was the media companies that created and hosted the file-sharing software...

[killqpid]

i was questioning myself up to the point i saw the dogs, then i knew it was bill plympton. i've been having annual weird al binges the past 3 years and somehow hadnt seen this yet. seems to be a higher number of non weird al weird al vids on here now too.

[cheesebuyer]

Theme song for SOPA.

[Loggixxle]

kinda just downloaded this song ...

[mechwarrior225]

damn, YOU LIAR

that never happens

MEDIAFIRE BYACH

[46milleja]

Yet this song has been downloaded so many times

[GeminiGuyandfofPYC]

al made this song in 2006...when the internet was just starting...HE KNEW THE FUTURE!

[PierreBezemer]

so it's bad to run over schoolkids with your car?

damn I'm bad

[Pib31995]

Burn in hell before too long. "and you deserve it!"

[Tempus62]

while listening to this song I was using vdownloader :3

[GrantG300]

I don't steal from ARTISTS like Al. Only from those who actually do buy diamond-studded swimming pools and solid-gold humvees

[GreatGigabyte]

Too Late!

[x7Luke7x]

I downloaded this song.

[mrtacotheamazing]

favorite part of this song is how it originally was only available by download

[pokblok]

@mrtacotheamazing he meant not to download this song on limewire or whatever.

[sergen292]

look at 0:45 the guitar is gone then at 1:07 its back

[bradley18000]

Who downloaded this song lets be honest :)

[muffinthedestroyer]

lol @ 3:47 you cheap bastard xD

turn your volume up to hear it

[FireKing214]

...I downloaded your whole album.

[UpsetRogue]

odd...this video auctally makes me WANT to do illegal things.XD

[beachbumsailordude]

The funny thing about the piracy issue is that they just don't want to change the dynamic. GIVE IT AWAY! If you have a good live act then people will hear your record and come to your show.

[EdgeMaster9]

I downloaded this before I heard the song because they told me not to.

[CIVDC]

Oh, the irony, VEVO.

[GoodEnglishLads]

The irony is I downloaded this on youtube converter...

[Hytegia]

...

A pro-piracy song.

On Vevo.

IRONY!

[TheKubolicious]

Weird Al for 2013 Half time show!

[aortizisawsome]

168 people took this song to literal and then supported sopa

[Epicgamars]

Technically its only US copyright laws, Sweden doesn't have copyright laws, just look at the pirate bay for crying out loud.

[TheSupermantube]

I dont know what is gayer this stupid fuckin song? or the video?...lol

[ImitableChaor]

@TheSupermantube Well look into your mirror and youll see the answer

[kevlaxer]

This is probably the only song i will ever legally purchase, just because i want weird al to get that golden humvee

[10387]

weird al at the super bowl

[pokblok]

well technically,we aren't giving him any money,so its the same thing as downloading.except this is legal!so yay XD

[pokblok]

I don't need Limewire,I have VEVO

[TheJackpoth]

i bet a lot of people just downloaded this song...

[Sanquinity]

@TheJackpoth Considering that Weird Al put the song up for free download himself, I bet that a lot of people have yes. :P

[colorfulvectors]

In the "Hellraiser-5" film is shown what multimedia recordings can be. So that, probably, many years ago i have been using an empty audio cassettes where were written such a brand names as: "Bon Jovi", "East-17".

[Thenso37]

@vinayak1995 Are you aware he already wrote a song about Pokemon?

[BAXFAXTER]

RIP democratia ))) jewcraft foreva

[Treyx54]

And to think google promotes copying songs off youtube as MP3 files.

[PutAnEpicNameHere]

@Treyx54 Google actually owns YouTube ...

[oswald266]

@Treyx54 ... where have you been for the past 3 or so years.? as @PutAnEpicNameHere said, google owns youtube

[Flashfire97]

Few people realize that this song is a parody of praise and worship music. That just makes it that much better.

[Haniki2]

Anybody heard the "YOU CHEAP BASTARD" at the end? Turn up your volume to hear it lol

[1979darthvader]

@Haniki2 Yeah I hear it LOL

[coolguyrob69]

I didn't download it, Internet Explorer left in the Temporary Internet Files Folder. Now it's MINE!!!!

[DrakealCommunity]

lol, I love how this song turns out... saying not to download this song and buy it because if you don't pay for the music he can't  get another gold solid SUV XD.

[1993gandy]

Where can I get the torrent for this?

[Solnceization]

It's a really ironic song, which actually calls up to download songs. Very talanted done.

[SilvetCircle]

challenge excepted

[ImitableChaor]

@SilvetCircle Download complete. Fuck yeah!

[Jmjager1]

I'm gonna download this song.

[johnburtjab]

is it bad that i first herd this in from a torrent?

[Peter1992t]

It's seems more a crime to put a price on something people like. But hey, I'm just a dude with an idea, not some government run by wealthy fat cats.

[HighLordVin]

but yah, stealing is stealing; and that IS a criminal offence and just something you shouldn't do

[gigaro1888]

HOLY SHIT I DOWNLOADED THE SONG, NOW THE WORLD WILL BE DESTROYED!!

[Kumori001]

166 people didn't download this song!

[gdfgfdg100]

Challenge accepted.

[jasperb02]

THE IRONY he was chased by police dogs he was getting shot at and he rode on sharks!! HE WAS KILLED BY FIRE!!!!!??????!!!!!

[jasperb02]

I hate the comments like '' LOL I DOWNLOADED THIS SONG" or " hahahahahahahahaha I totally downloaded this song"

[Psychstix]

What song does this parody?

[humoronwheels87]

@Psychstix As far as I know, it doesn't. He sometimes writes original stuff too

[Gruntcrazy]

Surprisingly, this makes me feel bad for my "activities"..damn it weird al, your making me question my morals.

[FlameFeathers]

@dreamcatcher131 actually he put it out on his myspace page for a few weeks before the album came out

[SamTheGentleGhost]

Al foresaw SOPA...

damn psychics... how do they work..

[Tempus62]

@SamTheGentleGhost miracles

[08000121909]

listen to very end and he sez 'you cheap bastard' lol but it's really quiet

[pqoeuhsd]

@08000121909 he never says it. it is possibly you confused that with "just buy it"

[341Honeybee]

If you'er not suppost to download this song, why is there a little "Buy 'Don't Downlaod This Song' on: iTunes"?

[pqoeuhsd]

This kid has lived a full life :D

[LanceBrony5893]

I remember listening to this back when I would download music from YouTube and I felt soooo bad, but now I can honestly say that I've paid for all/legally came into possession of all 1042 songs on my iTunes!

[DytmarHD]

@LanceBrony5893 lmao

[DJMC5ive]

would be so awesome if someone got busted for downloading this particular song.

[GS195]

"Go and buy the CD like you know that you should..."

And if the CD is out of print and not commercially available anywhere, or the CD is in print but not available in America, then what do you do?

[FreaperFTW]

@GS195 Buy it on iTunes

[GS195]

@FreaperFTW And if the album hasn't been added to the American iTunes Store, then what?

[FluffySolo]

Now I want a diamond studded swimming pool. And a solid gold Humvee.

[Chunkymoomoo127]

thumbs up if you think that the shark should be named George!

[HardlineStudiosHD]

I remember when this came out!

[NatureBuddyz]

Simon didnt say.

[kasrapwn]

RIP MEGAUPLOAD

[SGTV726]

I downloaded it.

U MAD BRO?

[cliffythehippie]

naturaly i had too illegaly download this song

[Thewatermelonn]

"Ya cheap bastard!"

Love the Al.

[cenayoucantseeme]

i downloaded a song off kaza one time, and then i saw this video and i thought that is how it was if you stole a song off of something like kaza and i was freaking out ahhaha, i was so young

[MarioLuigiSmashers11]

i downloaded this song, ahh it is no idea i will never get on top comments

[MisterDoucheBag1]

We're doing a musical in school, and to save money our Music teacher wanted to illegally download the karaoke versions to the songs, so I showed her this song. I'm now in detention for the next week.

[mark4050]

@MisterDoucheBag1 dude... what a boner... wait...

[TheHmmster]

@MisterDoucheBag1 You deserve it, for being on the wrong side of the copyright war.

[OneWayManiac]

@TheHmmster Wrong side? Downloading illegal stuff is illegal for a reason. 

[TheHmmster]

@OneWayManiac A reason that is wrong.

[BrolicTeddy]

@TheHmmster its illegal because it ruins the economy which is the power of the us basically, so sense they don't want you to fuck up their power they make a law... simple... and its also theft even if others say its not because your taking something that your normally suppose to pay for... simple -__-

[TheHmmster]

@BrolicTeddy Ah, you're so ignorant, but I can teach you the way.

Piracy doesn't "fuck up the economy", it stimulates it in a better way, and gives money to artists instead of thieves.

[smoogirl]

@TheHmmster How blind. Did you know artists make abourt 3p from selling CD's and such? They get their real money is from tours and their 'gift shop' supplies; such as posters, and shirts. I'm not condoning piracy though, I'm just saying :P

[rfvtgbzhn]

@smoogirl it depends on the artist, Micheal jackson earned a billion $ for a record contrat.

But it is true that most money is earned by the record companies.

[smoogirl]

@rfvtgbzhn Yeah, but the point is that people make a huge fuss over piracy, when an artist does not make any money from selling CD's in the first place :|

[MisterDoucheBag1]

@TheHmmster Lol are you retarded?

[TheHmmster]

@MisterDoucheBag1 I'm not, no. I think you're the one "retarded" for not being able to have a discussion without name calling.

[Mrninjabobdude2]

I have the sudden urge to download this song...

[Imnotjarry11]

commercial is in the same key as song #musicnerd haha

[Scottfdsa334]

HA! I downloaded this song.

[RpgDestiny]

Ah, I remember this song. Never thought the congress members would find it and go "Good idea, we'll name is SOPA."

[RpgDestiny]

@RpgDestiny it*

[MrAsassin8ter]

Theirs no remorse in my eyes ;)

[satandragons]

I personally think where you listen to the song on the radio or download songs...it really should be the same....

Thumbs up to anyone who tape-recorded there tunes from the radio back in mid 90's!

[lin755]

@satandragons more like from the mid 60's

[txoptimusbob]

downloaded on ipod 2 days ago

[RaccooNooB]

This song is DRM-free. It's legal to download. It's littiraly impossible to download it illegaly. So stop saying that.

[RaccooNooB]

What would happen if ACTA is passed? scroll back up and find out.

[ShamanTheHedgehog]

The only excuse for downloading this song is to piss of SOPA >:3

[pyroken67]

i really like this animation, it tops the majority of the stuff i see on the internet

[juicebox984]

I illegally downloaded this song on video to mp3

[DevilsScreamworks]

i did download this song

[lightandarkmood]

@Wishing0Star it now on android market, iTunes, and AmazonMp3... so really everywhere

[Wishing0Star]

I would laugh if this was only available for downlod

[Kinbuzz]

@Wishing0Star Weird Al did put this song up for download which is what he, through this song is trying to prevent people from being able to do. Just search wikipedia for it and you'll see. ^^

[GoldenEclypse]

@Wishing0Star It is, hahaha, at Itunes though.

[ruffythepiratking]

downloaded

[jeirda5]

why would I download it *or* buy it when I can just watch it on youtube?  Legal *and* free.

[YarrysMod]

@jeirda5 not quite... "legal". at all.

[jeirda5]

@YarrysMod its legal if al proves it, and considering its his channel i'm going to assume it is.

[YarrysMod]

@jeirda5 I beg your pardon, but it's actually... not. His channel is here: /user/alyankovic

Other than that, I didn't specify this channel. (btw.: VEVO is a joint venture among music lobbies like Warner Music Group, EMI, and so on; so they upload their stuff after all & they can stop it too)

I am talking about the majority of song shared on YT; doesn't matter which genre or artist, but most of the stuff isn't approved to be uploaded and/or uploaded by unknown individuals like fans etc.

[jeirda5]

@YarrysMod well shows what I know. But its still approved by him. Plus, a lot of artists (at least all the ones I listen to) are being much more strict about people uploading their music without permission, and I usually listen to it on their channel anyway (cause I mean, why not?). So I repeat my original statement, its free, and legal.

[jeirda5]

it also helps that youtube has systems in place for dealing with infringement.

[pseudohippie55]

@jeirda5 not anymore. With ACTA, you can kiss youtube goodbye

[LSilverDragon]

After watching this video in mute Rockstar games was formed and the first GTA game was released

[atljay182]

stupid al u forgot tpb

[zombadude]

SOPA in a nutshell

[KardKingKay]

@zombadude SOPA was canceled for vote indefinatly, it's ACTA we have to worry about..

[gentlegiant5678]

Am I the only the only one who thinks the beginning sounds something simirliar to We Are The World?

[Steinbach1984]

@gentlegiant5678 Not at all. Check Wikipedia: "It is a style parody of "We Are the World", "Voices That Care", "Hands Across America", "Heal the World" and other similar charity songs."

[gentlegiant5678]

@Steinbach1984 Oh, sorry bout' that.

[Pitzik4TheGreat]

I guess solid gold Humvees do grow on trees, at 2:36

[MRARROYOonutube]

He made this song a really good beat and tune because he knew people would download it.

[RLmike1234]

@MRARROYOonutube Hell, when he was done recording it, he put it up on the Internet for free download

[adamboy7777]

You know, if you buy the song you are by law allowed to burn a backup copy.

[Talamare2]

4749 people downloaded this song

and are NOW IN JAIL

[JasonMacAvoy]

163 people download songs :p

[June2011]

dont dowload this song ...

i just did XD

[Captainoftheseass]

I found out about all the file sharing sites FROM this song. Thanks, Al.

[heathmoor]

@Dragula42, most people wouldn't pay a dime for the music they have downloaded, so no real losses. For instance, I eventually bought the CD originals of most of the music I really care. In fact, I've bought more music now that I can easily listen to it than ever before. I consider my purchases as donations to the musicians and other people that helped create their work.

[nigeljglover]

.... i have spotify... and i have youtube... seems like music is giving itself away. don't really need download it.

[fullfist]

THAT KID IS A CRIMINAL !

.

HE SHOULD BE LOCKED AWAY FOR LIFE WITH ALL THE RAPISTS AND MURDERERS !

.

[JAKEFOWLER1999]

@fullfist Shut up troll its just a animation,

[KoraxSP]

Im getting mixed messages here.

[YarrysMod]

@KoraxSP you're not alone at that one.
