A small price to pay for free music.

I salute those fallen soldiers.

Or take it farther, blame the recording industry for having outrageously expensive music.

I'll admit I've killed a lot of potential children with illegally downloaded porn, but I ain't taking the rap for this one.

And all this time I thought it was just supporting terrorists and criminal gangs.....

3. Organised criminal gangs and even terrorist groups use the sale of counterfeit CDs to raise revenue and launder money.

When will people learn that the only way to stop terrorism, drug dealers, gang violence, and now people dieing in thunderstorms is to ensure executives at large record companies have a large and consistent revenue stream to draw from. People are so selfish.

lol. If you're laundering your money with an illegal business, you're seriously doing it wrong.

Under a communist system, no incentive for this event would have existed, and those Belgians would still be alive today. Clearly, capitalism is at fault.

This was not caused by Belgian pirates, but by a small group of professional pirates from France and Germany.

Your parents would blame rock music, so just cut out the middle man and say it is all Metallica's fault.

Hmmm, 2 can play at this game-

Actually insurance companies, it is fairly well known within the music festival industry that top-level organizers don't take festival equipment repair and maintenance seriously because of the realization that all costs associated with a major catastrophe will be covered by insurance anyways... Therefore, you are responsible for these 4 deaths, as the stage collapse could have been prevented had the Pukkelpop organizers actually had some fear of monetary loss and invested some money into repairing the broken down stage that eventually collapsed on 4 people. Thanks for destroying all accountability in the music festival industry.

So, I'll pray for god's mercy on the insurance companies tonight... As I listen to my limewire copy of "Nothing Else Matters"...
