My observations:http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.ph...u=Y8SRN&ref=nf
- If downloading causes a band like Aslan to never release another record, that is a very good thing. Why didn't the guy from Hideaway Records say that? Surely that is the most important point? And I'm not even being facetious here.
- That interview was funny in that Pat Kenny was actually the voice of reason.

Hmm, it would seem that the main point about this is not so much that you can get as much music as you want. It's that Virgin will cut you off if you file share. See this blog:

Jesus that's mad.
Pat conflating patents and copyright
The mad analogy between between class A drugs and filesharing (yer man from Aslan was quiet during that bit!)
The guy from IRMA with his fake outrage and his head up his arse
The squeaky voiced nerd
Mad and depressing.

Aye, nobody comes off well in that exchange. Also it's a little ridiculous when your designated IMRO spokesman is also the head of Aslan's record label. I mean the chances of Aslan & Willie Kavanagh disagreeing on any point were slim to none.

I'd expect an industry hack to have that sort of attitude on filesharing - I guess when his job depends on not understanding something......
But it's unusual in this day and age to hear a band who's attitude to filesharing is that un-nuanced

I think you'll find people do download. When you say stream stuff, do you mean Spotify? What other free music streaming options are out there?sure people just stream stuff and share hard disks these days anyway, no one downloads
