The music industry has been causing fights ever since the dawn of Napster. The RIAA still creates ridiculous lawsuits. But rarely do you get to hear about an actual physical altercation between music producers, and those that steal it.
That’s what happened between a small recording label named Dovecote Records and Limewire employees in New York at a bar yesterday. It all went down because of pizza.

[Dovecote Records Blog] Dovecote Records employees went to their typical hangout at a local bar. Sometimes the bar provides food on slow nights to keep patrons longer so their tabs grow larger. Two Dovecote Records employees, Paul and Kosuke, grab 2 slices of pizza they believed to be free. A small Asian woman marches over and starts in:

Woman: “Who the F*CK are you? And why are you eating our pizza?”

Kosuke and Paul look confused.

Kosuke: Are you joking? Is this a joke?

Woman: No this is definitely NOT a joke. I want to know who you are and why you’re eating our pizza.

Kosuke: Well our friend came in and told us there was free pizza at the bar. We are. So. Sorry. It was a misunderstanding.

Woman: (with unbridled entitlement) This is a company party our CEO is here and you STOLE our pizza. Are you from out of town? Because let me tell you, NOTHING is free in New York City. Nothing is free… well maybe except for the condoms in Times Square.

Paul and Kosuke continue apologizing. They offer to pay for the two slices.

Woman: (didactically snobbish) We don’t want your money. No. Enjoy the pizza, but you can’t steal other people’s things. You can’t take what’s not yours

Again the duo continues their apologies. Kosuke tries to turn the situation around and befriend them.

Kosuke: What company do you guys work for?

Woman: We work for Limewire.

Kosuke’s eyes go wide. Anger festers in his pupils.

Kosuke: Oh ok. Well I work at a record label so f*ck you. You’ve stolen from us enough.

Paul and Kosuke return to the backroom utterly shocked and tell the rest of us what transpired. Paul’s anger builds. He stands up. Puts his bag on runs out the door, taking an entire pizza box with him. Matt T., a software developer at Limewire, tries to stop Paul by grabbing him and pouring beer all over his shirt, backpack, laptop, and pants.

Everyone separated and the event was over.

I think its hilarious how the Limewire employees think they’re all that with their high and mighty CEO in attendance. Limewire has got to be the worst bloatware you can install. If its on your computer, delete it now! Not only do Limewire employees suck, their software does too.
