[edit] unburnable?

A friend of mine said that the cd is unable to be copied. I don't have it and have never tried, but is that true. He said the band didn't know about it till afterwards, but is there any truth to it? If so it should be mentioned since it would be a very ironic piece of trivia. Also, there is another cd called Steal This Album by The Coup, if anyone finds that worthy of mentioning.

I'm pretty sure it can be copied. I've got the CD and I think I have burned it before, but I think you can only access the online lyrics page with the CD in your drive. Other than that, it says nothing about copy protection,...unfortunately.

I read (somewhere, too lazy to dredge for URLS) that Steal This Album! was B-sides from Toxicity and unreleased material. The songs were floating around the 'net and being traded via P2P between SOAD fans. SOAD figured they could make some cash off it and pulled all the tracks into an album, appropriately entitled Steal This Album!, for obvious reasons.

I myself had a few of the tracks on this CD before it was released in retail. -- Goatasaur 02:26 Feb 18, 2003 (UTC)

That's pretty much it.

Steal This Album! was not a planned release from SOAD.--Biohazard 23:59, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] nope

Steal This Album! was an outtakes album, consisting of songs that were recorded during Toxicity sessions but didn't fit the mood of the album.

[edit] Fuck the System

It says that on the back of the album, it is written as "F**k the System" however, on my copy, it is written as "F*** the System". Can anyone else confirm either? Kame2000 14:10, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

My copy says "F**k the System". AMG lists it this way, too. Nufy8 17:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

My copy says "F*** the System". gracz54 21:44, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Theft rate

Is the theft rate for this album high? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.181.207.142 (talk) 08:07, 1 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] "Special Edition" Covers

Can we get some pictures of the special album covers up?

[edit] CSD?

This page apparently has a CSD tag on it, although I can't find it to remove it...I absolutely contest its speedy deletion. It sold two million copies! Chubbles 15:08, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

It's a bug, don't worry about it. We're going through and fixing them now. Zsinj^Talk 16:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Virgin Tea/Fortress

Anyone mind explain why these didn't make the cut?

Because SOAD thought it didn't fit in the overall continuity of the album. gracz54 19:26, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
