Neil Young should be ashamed to have made that nonsense propaganda.
The best response I've seen to it:
"Hey Neil, I love the music. Just watched your Seeding Fear documentary and had no idea you were so cool with patent and licensing violations.
I'm currently downloading your entire catalog via bit torrent. That won't be a problem will it? I mean, licensing fees for arranging sounds that already occur naturally is pretty much the antithesis of what you stand for, right? Paying for something you made when I can get it free from someone else just makes more sense.
Anywho, just thought I'd thank you for "Down By The River." That's like my favorite song ever."
PS: Here's the actual court document.
