Fuck itunes. Good for Kid Rock(even though he's doing t base on lack of compensation). I hate itunes. I don't  buy my music from itunes I buy actual albums and it pisses me off that itunes and my favoprite artosts negotiate terms where bonus material is only available via itunes. Fuck itunes and to an extent fuck my favorite artists(yes U2 among others) when it comes to this issue. It rips the  traditional music fan off. Oh the poor artist bitching about lack of album sales yet they make certain material available only through itunes. yeah great idea douche bags. Go Kid Rock! Go Beatles! Go AC/DC! and Go Garth Brooks?

Kid Rock jokingly says, '˜steal everything'
The rocker says he doesn't mind if fans illegally download his music

DETROIT - Kid Rock wants fans to know it's OK to illegally download his music.

And while they're at it, they should steal cars, designer clothes and iPods, too.

Well, maybe not.

The 37-year-old Detroit musician posted a 'special announcement' on YouTube last week urging fans to 'steal everything.'

Kid Rock says in the video that he's so rich, he can't complain if fans steal a song or two off the Internet without paying him.

In fact, he says, people should 'level the playing field' by stealing anything they need from wealthy corporations.

He mentions laptops, iPods, Toyota vehicles ('It's a foreign car company, so who cares?'), gasoline and Tommy Hilfiger clothing as potential targets for the five-finger discount.

But the rap-rocker, who has resisted selling his music on iTunes and other online stores, tells The Associated Press he was just kidding.

'I was just trying to have some fun with it,' Kid Rock said before playing in Wednesday's Buick Open Pro-Am, with friend and pro golfer John Daly, at Warwick Hills near Flint.

The video had more than 100,000 views as of Wednesday afternoon.

I'm glad he's boycotting Itunes because there was a zero chance of me ever purchasing his music so he might as well give me the option to steal it.

Anyone who steals Werewolves of London and Sweet Home Alabama in one fucking song should be shot in my book.  Fuck Kid Rock.

I used to really like Kid Rock, but after his most recent album I find it really hard to defend him anymore.

Oh good Christ do I hate that fn song.

It's ALL over the radio up here in Detroit because everyone feels the need to kiss this idiots ass.

I would LOVE to break this guy's nose for ever making that song.  Stealing the riff to Sweet Home Alabama- now how the fuck can this man expect to get respect after that?
