He’s worth 100s of millions and he’s in his late 70s. He’s a spiteful, nasty little man.

I recently bought a vinyl from Japan released in 1985 and the backside had a logo with the pirate crossbones and a cassette above it with the inscription “HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC - And it’s illegal” lmao

This isn’t even piracy. It was an ancient, physical, bootleg recording of a live show that her husband got decades ago. She wasn’t even selling multiple copies, just the one that’s she’s owned for years.

It says she’ll get a huge fine if she tries to sell it again, so I think they just made her de-list it
