This is how most digital media works. You're not buying the media, you're buying a license for the media. Unfortunately, usually there's a clause in the EULA about how the license can be revoked at any time.
Dude, there's a mountain lion in your house.
You're absolutely right. However, it was not my intention to imply that Greg actually knew about the alleged fraud. Rather, I meant that because it seems Greg got fucked by Jirard in the money department, he would be more likely to suspect it was happening to others. Because of that, I wondered if it played a part in his decision making. The detail about the Open Hand photos adds more of a conspiratorial twist to this message than I meant. I was surprised that Open Hand was old enough to be around the same time as Greg, and only included that to point out this fact. Upon rereading it, I do realize that my comment takes a very matter-of-fact tone, and I appreciate your measured response counteracting that. I agree that it's totally pointless to speculate without an official testimony and with an obvious answer already present, and will try to refrain from doing so in the future.
Funnily enough, that was my most listened song from them! I got to see them do it live during the Spicy Meatball Tour, and his voice is fucking (fucking) POWERFUL!!!
I remember when Greg had Jirard take all the old videos with him in it down. At the time, I believed he was kinda being a dick. Now I'm starting to believe (especially because we can see him in photos at the Open Hand golf tournament) he had an inkling of a suspicion that shady stuff was going on, and wanted to distance himself. I don't think Greg has anything to do with what Jirard is being accused of, but I remember him having issues with how little he was compensated for the videos he was in, and it seems likely that he would have noticed some odd money-handling behaviors from his friend and decided it would be best to get the fuck outta Dodge.
EDIT: This comment did not present itself as I intended. Please read ThunderingJerboa's response to this, as well as mine.
My top artist was Tenacious D, and my top song was Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai.

I think that a fart is specifically gas passing out of your intestines. Until it does that, it's just gas.
At the end of the day, a collection of all the information in the world is a reflection of ourselves.
For me it's, "AND WHY IS HE HERE? HE LOST!"
