Now don't get me wrong, I more or less agree with those artists who complain about file-sharing - if you look at it from any perspective other than the one of personal convenience, it is essentially theft -, but there's a certain irony in singing 'imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can' with such earnest emphasis on a copy-protected CD....
ETA: I also liked Passive better as Vacant in the rawer bootlegged version. And I rather prefer Pet to Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums... on the one hand it's always nice to have one's interpretation proven right, on the other hand I also liked the, if not ambiguity of the original, than the fact that Pet was complex and subtle enough to be open to different interpretation and didn't have a very visible label ANTI-WAR SONG slapped on.
