They've made so much money off of that thing. Part of me doesn't like them because of that, but I do wish them the best of luck. Weren't they going to be part of PLAY or something like that?

Wait, they're profiting from their unauthorized recreation of copyrighted music?

That ain't right. That ain't right at all.

Yep, check it out, it's on their front page:

At first they were raising money for the sake of hiring a high quality, professional choir. But then they made about $6,000 in extra cash and I'm guessing they used that amount to hire more people. That's what they imply, anyway. I guess that's questionable, but it's really not all that bad.

And now they've been accepting donations, and they've made about $7,000. I guess since they're donations, again not really a big deal. But it still rubs me the wrong way. Though that's quite the dedicated/insanely rich fanbase they have there. They've raised like $30,000, total.

Weren't they stealing midis?

I heard they used the money to buy orphans to sing in the choir, and then they sent the choir to China and made a tidy profit off of them as factory workers.

True story.

Also, some of the the orphans were used as test subjects for the Chinese space program, since they were smaller from being underfed by the ZREO team.

Totally true as well.
