Feeling Guilty? Send Them Back!

Are you plagued with nagging guilt about file sharing? Do you sit awake at night fretting that your computer may be the downfall of the music industry, even though you buy more CDs now than before you started sharing? Do you no longer belive that sharing means caring?

Then this site is for you!

    We knew stealing that music was wrong. Stealing is never OK. But, it was just too easy. So we told ourselves we were just "sharing" the music, because everyone knows that sharing is a good thing.

    But then we learned what we were really doing. We heard our favorite recording artists telling us that our "sharing" is really shoplifting and piracy. We were stealing from the musicians and singers we love!

    That was when we looked at each other and said: "No more! It's time to make it right by giving back what we stole!" And that's just what we did! We sent back all the MP3's we'd illegally downloaded. Everyone one of them!

    Won't you join us in sending them back?
    Send them back! Right back to the Recording Industry of America Association, the industry association that helps our favorite artists keep on making the music we love.

    Send them back! We did...and we feel great!

    It's Easy! Here's How!!

And tell you how they do. You can also turn in your bongs and radar detectors!

    I love the pictures. There's nothing like getting a bunch of stylish 80's highschool kids to drum up support for your cause. It's like when they would get Kirk Cameron with his stylish sweater and feathered mullet to break character and discuss a serious issue with a hotline number based on what happened on this week's heart-breaking Growing Pains.
