Some of you may remember this news article...after Bono made comments regarding online copyright infringement, the Marketing Manager of a UK Internet Service Provider verbally attacked Bono telling him "Shut up and stick to singing!"

Imagine my amusement when I recently discovered the same Marketing Manager was found to be uploading hundreds of copyrighted pornographic images to a website, not an adult XXX website but a motorcycle website used by men, women and children.

Unfortunately for him, he didn't try very hard to hide his identity as he used the same website to boast about his job title even posting a link to his company's website!

Obviously he no longer works for the ISP.

No need for a new topic I think

what they said

"Everything I thought that would be was no longer. Everything was broken. Like home, that was just gone, everything was gone. So my thing was to find somewhere else to go. I needed another family and the band became that for me, and it was a refuge. I was sitting behind a drumkit. I didn’t have to explain myself. And that’s been very convenient because it’s not easy stuff to talk about, and I admire Bono for doing it. I find it… kind of… you know, it’s a painful period of my life and it still feels the same way. I wish I could just expel it. I don’t have the resources or the willpower to do that yet." - Larry on losing his mother at a young age, 2011
