Limp Bizkit: Behin Blue Eyes. It's not like it says "we're out of material".
And of course they only kept the chorus, not the cool parts with "When my fist clenches, crack it open / before I use it and lose my cool when I smile, tell me some bad news / before I laugh and act like a fool".

They make sure that the heirs to the heirs to the heirs of Walt Disney will still be earning billions of dollars off every passing mention of Mickey Mouse for centuries to come.
They try their damnedest to make sure I have to pay out the ass for the privilege of hearing even a part of a song before deciding whether it was worth paying for.
And yet, if you want to make tons upon tons of money by defecating on someone else's creation and packaging it in a shiny wrapper, go for it. It's the American way.

I am constantly depressed whenever the "we've sampled a U2 song" monstrosity comes on the radio. Despressed, and angry.

Ah, that renowned destroyer of cultures, the free and open exchange of ideas.
Warning, hyperbole:
I can't wait till we do something about this open source software, too. Did you know that anybody can write this stuff? There could be terrorists hiding right inside your Linux kernel and you'd never know it. Your neighborhood school crossing signals could be controlled by software written by Osama himself.

Well. I'm distributing Mp3 files from my computer. Am I making profit from it? Not that I can see.

Oh. And it's so nice to know that the "You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours" analogy still works...
