...Why must people be stupid? Seriously, do they really feel the need to try and link a tragedy like this to a problem that has next to nothing to do with it? What is this world coming to?
Insurers Blame Fatal Stage Collapse on Illegal Music Sharing

If you hadn't been born at all, then we wouldn't even be here, because there'd only be three of us, and three isn't enough to go on University Challenge. So it's your fault.
Cookie for reference.
How about blaming Marty McFly for inventing Rock and Roll? Because without that, there'd never be a festival.
GREAT SCOTT!

Everybody who downloads music illegally aren't really pirates, they're wizards!
The internet is doomed.
Because we all know this was an elaborate scheme to get many many people there in order to summon a storm and wreak havoc.

This is amazing. I love it when people use this logic, because it means you can blame anyone for anything. It's just a matter of linking enough chains together. It's actually a rather fun game to play with your friends.
Applying it to real life situations though, not a good idea...

Though they still honoured the policy right... right?! It wasn't made clear whether or not they honoured the insurance policy (which I assume covered cost of damages and cost of closing the festival) because unless there was a limit on the number of people there I don't see how this could slide. For the sake of my sanity I'm going to assume that they paid out on the policy, and this is just the ramblings of some executive. Like happened with that PR firm over Duke Nukem.
Safety of people has nothing to do with illegal music down loaders. Unless your concert stadium was based on a see saw contraception in which you need x amount of people sitting in the stadium to keep it stable, except you screwed up your figures based on views, instead of sales.
That seems strangely similar to some kind of ancient religion there. "If you give offereings to the goddess statue, no harm will come to you loyal believers!"
Edit: "but you didn't, so sucks to be you!"

I shall summon the fury of Udun, and cast the fiery storm upon the petty innocent by using the ancient ritual of torrenting.
Why are they blaming illegal downloading?
It was obviously the communists... no wait, I've got it, NINJAS. They haven't been the typical scapegoat since the Shogun period, so yeah, we're going with Ninjas.
So no, we're not paying out your claim.

So illegally downloading music causes storms over music festivals now?
I've heard of some pretty stupid ways insurance companies try to dodge actually paying out for the insurance they provide but this is a whole other catagory of stupid! Which insurer was it anyway?

This is uncommentable. I simply cannot come up with something stupid enough to match what has been said.

OT: I think the insurance company executives should be skewered with a specially sharpened marshmallow and the toasted.
Storm + Music Festival + Deaths and Injuries = The Result of Illegal Music Downloads
This doesn't seem to add up.
In all seriousness, R.I.P to those who died due to this incident, and fuck the insurance companies who blamed this tragedy on something completely unrelated.

May this insurance company get sued out of existence.
I mean, does this mean UK tax laws were responsible for Altamont because the tax laws were such that British artists had to tour relentlessly to earn some money?
