What? Was Vince Neil Busy?
Tommy Lee is the new face of BuyMusic.com. Okay.
So what's he got to say about people pirating music?
"When people steal music, it sucks" Oooh, insight from a deep thinking drummer.

Ooookay, perhaps it might have been a better idea to get a less dense corporate spokestar or, as the news story says, the provider of the "artist's perspective"? Translation: We paid him about $100,000 plus a percentage to come out and be our corporate shill. Isn't he rad?

Buymusic.com Parties Like It's 1999 which, I'm pretty sure, Tommy Lee thinks it still is. Or was he in jail for beating Pamela Anderson at that point. I have such a hard time keeping all the dates straight.

Anyway, BuyMusic's business model? Let's do the exact same thing as Apple did with its iTunes store only let's do it cheaper to more people and hire a rock & roller to sell it all to the kids. Will it work? Probably not but hey, let's give them a big hand for trying, eh?
