Enslaved 'Download' a sheep!

Karl Hungus

"The Norwegian party Venstre (socialist liberal) has proposed that all illegal file sharing should be legalized. They haven’t put much thought behind the populist proposal and the rationale is basically that since the music is there people should be allowed to consume it freely...

So, in response to this the Norwegian metal band ENSLAVED took a cab out to the Venstre party leader’s farm (he happens to be a sheep farmer) and "downloaded a sheep" with the same kind of motivation: free roaming sheep are available and should be consumed! The sheep was then brought back to the Norwegian parliament, quite an effective statement."

There's a video on this site: http://www.side2.no/musikk/article1379093.ece

You actually see them nabbing the sheep!

Honest to god, what a way to make a point! Enslaved are ****ing legends!

Hahahahaha, my word! This ranks up there with the most entertaining political protests out there

Ah, I'm honestly at a loss. I've always thought Enslaved were one of the best bands of the Norwegian scene, and this just really put a smile on my face while at the same time increasing my respect for them.

I also think it's a lot more worthy of respect than any church burning muppetry that other bands were into.

Well never heard of the band but that's quite an amusing story.
The best way to make a point is to completely exaggerate it!

Karl Hungus

They're a great band, Johnny. I'd recommend them.

except if download a politician's sheep, he will have less sheep.

if i download a song by enslaved, there will be MORE copies of the song in question.
