Popstar Madonna is known as a woman who does not mince her words.
She has used her forthright manner to try to stop online piracy of her latest album, American Life.

File-sharing networks have been flooded with fake tracks, which contain no music but instead have Madonna saying; "What the f*** do you think you are doing?"

But despite efforts to stop unauthorised copies appearing on the net before its release, the album was readily available for download on several MP3 websites last week.
