[…] significant difference to the world. Do we not have anything better to do than going after him for breaking copyright law? Seriously, let’s just go back to not giving a shit who he is or what he thinks about […]

Is there any indication of whether this was Green’s idea, or did the network insist on it to avoid antagonizing Christians?

@Brother Yam: Don't you mean Forget You? He's no stranger to changing things to mollify people; at least this was his own.

Violated the law? Yes. Criminal? Unlikely. Most copyright things are civil, I don’t think it’s criminal until SOPA or something like it passes. (IANAL)

Yes, but he’s a coward doing something morally indefensible. Exactly the people copyright laws have been solely designed to protect and serve for about twice as long as I’ve been alive.

Maybe people will go back and listen to the original and notice the difference. At least I hope they will.

Imagine is about the best atheist song ever written. The old “American Atheist Hour”on KPFT back in the eighties used it as their intro.

Cee Lo is not the first to have made these changes to the lyrics.My only hope is that Yoko will clamp down on this lyric changing shit. She does hold the copyright, doesn’t she? If not Occupy the copyright holders.

This coming from a guy who wrote a song called Fuck You. An awesome song, by the way...

Glad I watched basketball instead of the New Years Eve celebrations last night. I didn’t want to watch the ball drop anymore let alone watch and listen to celebrity garbage, preferring to watch the NBA basketball games and the Detroit Pistons win their first game of the season instead. After what I heard about what Cee Lo sang last night, it looks like I made the right decision to see all the slam dunks and hear people cheer the Piston’s fist win. 🙂
