It is meant to suggest spreading like a virus as opposed to by paid advertising.

Viral marketing Ive never heard that phrase I guess its either suggesting human communication online spreading like a computer Virus or human communication offline spreading like a bacterial virus…Strange but I cant help but try too understand very odd I believe but I guess the human language is ever evolving.. Now dont I sound like a F-ing Scientist “chuckle chuckle” what do you think.?

super: you sound like you think it’s wrong for artists to receive royalties from their own music? and yeah, though, i’ve never done it, but i agree a single download here or there isn’t going to keep me from purchasing their albums. but there is a difference in quality of sound.

Viral marketing is getting people to talk about your product without paid advertising.

whats viral marketing?
and i think U2 is trying to stop that shit because they want ppl to buy their cds so they can collect royalty cheques!

AS IF 1 DOWNLOAD IS GONNA STOP ME FROM BUYING CDS! I LIKE U2 AS A BAND! 1 SONG AIN’T GONNA STOP ME FROM BUYING A CD!
