"Download This Song" is a track from The Graduate album by MC Lars and features Jaret Reddick of Bowling for Soup. The lyrics of the song are based on the book, The Future of Music: Manifesto for the Digital Music Revolution (ISBN 0-87639-059-9) by Dave Kusek and Gerd Leonhard. The track's musical accompaniment centres around the Iggy Pop song "The Passenger"
The song helped an American family from Texas fight a case against the RIAA when their computer was found containing over 500 illegally downloaded music files. The 15-year-old daughter Elisa Greubel wrote a letter to MC Lars and Nettwerk Music Group's executive, Terry McBride who got several artists managed by Nettwerk to support the Greubels (including Avril Lavigne, The Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan).

In early 2006, this song was featured on the pop-culture CBC Radio show, Definitely Not The Opera during an exposé on geeks.
