I would rather starve. I’ve been poor plenty of times. I was poor for a long, long time in this band, literally homeless at times. I’m not particularly worried about getting rich, that’s not why I do this. I make a good living, a lot of people don’t. I’m not a millionaire, but I’m quite comfortable now after 16 years of being in this band.
To tell you the truth if this SOPA thing went through at first it would probably be a huge economic boom to myself personally and I could take that money and be set… until they’d figure out another way to leak music.
And yes, I would make more money, this is true. And yes, I think it sucks that people steal music. And that’s what I call it. Not copyright infringement, not piracy, it’s fucking stealing. That sucks. That being said, I just don’t want the government or corporations to have more control than they already do. To me it’s ridiculous and a very easy choice… Would I like to live comfortably in a nice house as an indentured servant or would I like to live in the ghetto as a free man? I’ll take the ghetto any day.
"Randy Blythe. I don’t even really like Lamb of God but Blythe seems like an awesome guy and his convictions are truly admirable.
