Hypothesis:

  A little madness is good for the soul.  If the RIAA is going to 
  start suing people, we should probably get in a few volleys of our 
  own before all is said and done.

  Idea:

  (Not mine originally, but mine in this modified implementation.)

  Droplifting.

  It seems like a very interesting idea.  

  Droplifting defined:

  Check the Billboard top 200 list.  Pick an exceptionally nasty 
  piece of pop-culture crap.  Download their album in a nice, 
  legally questionable fashion.  Rip it to CDA.  Burn off 10 or 
  so copies.  Head to your local Sam Goody and deposit the burned 
  discs in the appropriate bin.  Make sure there's a note on each 
  copy explaining what the disc is.  A fully functional copy 
  of the cd they almost spent $15 on.  And taking it won't 
  set off any alarms. Sit back and watch the carnage.  Maybe 
  it'll work.  Maybe it won't.  But it'll be FUN.

  Why do it:

  Rebellion is healthy.  Massive corporate indoctrination is bad.  
  Having Virgin International decide what we should listen to is 
  bad.  Adding a punk track at the end of a Backstreet Boys 
  albums is really funny.  And who knows, it might help turn some 
  poor pre-teen away from the Dark Side and towards good (well, 
  better) music.

  The idea is scalable as well.  If you have a band, burn some 
  cds, walk into your local pop-music shithole and drop a few 
  freebies into the Top-40 bin.  Or make up a mixed-disc of 
  stuff you like and leave it out as a gift to some unassuming 
  customer.  

  I suppose the whole thing is a little risky.  Making cds is 
  the sort of thing the record industry doesn't want you to do.

  You may get caught.  But it's not like you were STEALING from 
  the store.  If Joe Cashier gives you some trouble, grab your 
  discs and walk out.  

  Go forth and spread the love, people.
