I don't know whether Weird Al Yankovic
lost any money because his lyrics were posted on the net
but I would imagine that it might work in his favor if it
attracted people to buy his record.
(Incidently, I heard the album which includes "Eat it"
and it is a very amusing satire on modern materialistic
life in plastic America).
This brings up an interesting question.

If your actions result in his MAKING money instead of losing
it, why can't you charge him a fee for the service?

I know that isn't practical, so don't post a followup to tell me
that.
