| For those who are interested in the copyright debate,

Internet propels Weird Al's album into Billboard Top 10
,----[ Quote ]
| What happened to propel Weird Al into sudden success after
| all this time? Well, aside from his continually-witty
| song parodies, he names the Internet as the main reason
| why his most recent singles and album have exploded. The
| music video of "White and Nerdy," parody of the
| Chamillionaire song "Ridin' (Dirty)," spread like
| wildfire over video sites such as YouTube upon its
| release, appealing to an entirely new audience of
| connected youngsters who may not have otherwise heard
| of the artist.
