What do you think? Not that we're big or anything. But pretty clever way to combat piracy if we do get there, am I right?

Clever? More like retarded. Good luck completely drowning out any possible publicity you could get, as people are afraid to even search your band name and Google starts filtering out webpages related to your group.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
And make it impossible to advertise your band as well.

Great idea!

And a very clever way of combating merch and music sales. No one, and I mean NO ONE, is going to spend a dime on your band.

Yeah, no.
It will be hard to find information about your band online, and it's not really a good idea to have to have name that people will afraid to have on t-shirts and in their search engine cache.

About piracy, if you ever in a position where this shit matters, you got it made, go party with some porn stars and stop worrying about that bullshit.

Pretty clever way of preventing people from finding out who you are and when/where you perform.

But wouldn't that also turn away potential buyers/fans? Even if I loved a track, I doubt I would buy a album named child porn.

Piracy will be good for you until you're well known, so if that's the only reason why you're doing this then it's an appalling idea.

If not, then it's just a very bad idea.

Way to prevent anyone from ever searching for you guys on Google, Youtube, etc.

edit: Better find a good alternative to the internet for people to find concert info....

Just name your band "Torrent" or "Download". People won't find anything by searching "torrent torrent" or "download torrent". (well, there's still the album name)

This is a much better idea, just name the albums stuff like "full discography" or "file".

Just call yourself xXx or Hot young lesbian sluts instead. I'm not one who cares much about being PC, but I wouldn't want to associate myself with child pornography or anyone who does for that matter.

If you were good enough to get pirated, you wouldn't need to change your name because you'd be making bank off live shows and would have long ago stopped expecting album sales to contribute anything to your income.
