It seemed like such a great idea and for a while it was, but at some point the pigs started walking on their hind legs. Using Animal Farm as a metaphor for the collapse of PledgeMusic might not be a perfect way to explain what happened for countless reasons, notwithstanding the perfect allegory that the book already is, but there are parallels.
