That is ridiculously stupid. The fact people are downloading her albums in the 10s of thousands proves that there is value on them because people want them but lets face it, if people can get something for free, they wil go get it for free. think if the racord labels and artist want o end piracy they should do the blodblood obvious. LOWER PRICES. I regularly pirate music but I also buy CDs when they aren't €20 for a plastic disk with digital data on it. The same data that I could download for free. The reason I buy CDs is for the physical copy and case. Ithink that is worth maybe €5. I'd gladly pay that to own a physical copy but not €20.....not unless it was one of my favourite bands. Check out Dan Bulls "Dear Lily [an open letter to Lily Allen]" music video. It's brilliant <a href="http://.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL9-esIM2CY&feature=player_embedded" rel="nofollow">.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL9-esIM2CY&feature=player_embedded</a> BTW: Dan Bul allows his music to be purchase or downloaded for free via his MySpace page <a href="http://www.myspace.com/danbull" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/danbull</a> So it's not the fact that she won't earn from piracy…. she just wants to feel loved more so wants people to pay other people for burnt copies even if she doesn't earn from it.
