A spokesperson told us that a third party marketing agency did reach out on behalf of Instagram to make an initial request to see if Waters’ team was interested in allowing the use of the song there were no formal offers of payment made. We reached out to Facebook, and a representative disputed some of the details presented by Waters. “How did this little prick who started off by saying ‘She’s pretty, we’ll give her a 4 out of 5,’ How the f- did he get any power in anything, and yet here he is one of the most powerful idiots in the world.” He continued by criticizing Zuckerberg and the website he started back in college called Facemash that would rate women’s appearances.

It arrived this morning, with an offer for a huge, huge amount of money. So it’s a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me.
