Sounds like someone prematurely pulled a trigger. Now the war is on. I think based on internet and news opinion, the Beastie Boys' two decade attempts at making it clear that they are a band with a social conscience (i.e., starting at Ill Communication, Tibetian Freedom Concerts etc) has been hurt by a group of manipulative advertising executives. Hard to believe that a company can be so descructive just by making a viral youtube video combined with releasing a legal document to the media. I want this nasty selfish company legally taken down.



"A lot of record companies look at the numbers and they'll be like, 'Your first record sold 5 million and your second record sold only 800,000. What happened? You guys fell off, I think the band all feels that the record did really well. Most musicians I grew up playing music with would probably shoot me if I ever complained about selling 800,000 records."
