Norma Jean vocalist calls downloaders spoiled brats, says they owe him money

by Tyler Munro

Norma Jean’s Cory Brandan Putman took a break from the mosh yesterday to take to Twitter and address his frustrations with illegal downloading.

“Anyone that has ever downloaded a NJ record. You owe me money. I hope you had enough money today to buy your family groceries,” he tweeted.

“I mean “for free” of course. Ya know… illegally. Stolen. Theft. Don’t get your feeling hurt,” he continued. “It’s ok if you steal from me. Anything else I can do for free for you? Spoiled brats! It’s about time someone got pissed about this!“

From there, his Twitter feed turns into a war zone. Agree with him or not, but Putman’s obviously willing to talk (or argue) about his opinions.

“I will gladly go down for this if I have to. I’m over it. Expect a lot more form me about this. Thieves are going to HATE me,” he wrote yesterday evening. And one hour ago, lost in a feed filled with replies and arguments, he had this to say.

“I always win every argument. It’s a hard life.”

Whether or not that’s true is up for you to decide.
