Don't Download This Song

"Don't Download This Song" is the first single from "Weird Al" Yankovic's 12th studio album ''Straight Outta Lynwood''. The song was released exclusively on August 21, 2006 as a digital download. It is a style parody of "We Are the World", "Voices That Care", "Hands Across America", "Heal the World" and other similar charity songs. The song "describes the perils of online music file-sharing" in a tongue-in-cheek manner.〔(Bill Plympton Studio )〕 To further the sarcasm, the song is freely available for streaming and download (legally) in "DRM-free" MPEG fileformat at Weird Al's Myspace page, as well as his YouTube channel.
==Background==

"Don't Download This Song" references several court cases related to the RIAA and copyright infringement of music. Among these are lawsuits against "a grandma" (presumably Gertrude Walton,〔http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/02/05/riaa_sues_the_dead/〕 who was sued for copyright infringement six months after dying) and a "7-year-old girl" (presumably a reference to Tanya Andersen's daughter〔(Recording Industry vs. The People )〕 sued at age 10 for alleged copyright infringements made at the age of 7), as well as Lars Ulrich's strong stance against copyright infringement of music in the days of Napster. The song also challenges the RIAA's claim that file sharing prevents the artists from profiting from their work, as the song argues that they are still very financially successful via their recording contracts: ("Don't take away money from artists just like me/How else can I afford another solid-gold Humvee?"). Mention is also made of Tommy Chong's time spent in prison.〔(Tommy Chong Sentenced to 9 Months + Fine || kuro5hin.org )〕
Yankovic's own views on filesharing are less clear-cut:
Yankovic's intention was to leave the listener with no clear understanding of Yankovic's own views on the matter, "all by design".
