RIAA paranoia

Epic Records turns to glue to defeat pirating. Journalists are getting pre-release CDs for review that are glued shut inside a discman — further evidence that record execs have no contact with reality. Geffen Records is now rumored to begin using hired goons to personally deliver pre-release CDs to journalists to ensure that, 1) the CD is not pirated, and, 2) the album is given a favorable review, or else you beady-eyed Atari shirt-wearin' punk is gonna be eatin' filet mignon through a straw for the rest of yo punk-ass life.
