In a recent interview with the Associated Press, the smooth-jazz sax operator took his defiant stand in response to Prince's recent proclamation of the Web's demise.

For reasons we'll never totally understand, whenever Bono talks, people listen. Now, apparently bored with AIDS and world hunger, the Irish singer/humanitarian/know-it-all has turned his attention to another of the world's problems: illegal downloading.
