P.S. in case artist was serious about commiting crimes, maybe he should read this:

because in this month it is out there already to be “tried before bought”.

Why only give a few DJ’s promotional copies, if you as an intelligent artist can have the free promotion of exposure to possibly millions over millions of potential new loyal fans that will hear from a band the first time this modern 21st century way?!

Could it be, if he would be consequent about what he said on public radio, that he must strangle the PR guy from his indie label? ;-)

*starts to initiates some seaches now for something he never heard before* (and of course will ask RIAAradar to make sure that a possible money giving would not go into a poket that sues fileshares. Lets hope for this artist the company that sells physical objects of his creative work isn’t a RIAA member!)

I first started listening to them over a year ago when i heard one of their songs on the radio. I immediately downloaded the single, then bought their album then CD singles and Vinyls.

Although Paul Smith’s comments does make me feel slightly terrible, i bought Maxïmo’s music because their previous work was available via Bittorrent and bought hardcopies because of it.
