What James should be saying is “Hey you p2p bozos, what’s wrong with my music that makes you NOT want to download it……”

And the new artists actually depend on file sharing to get rolling…

Those people fail.

hahaha truer words have never been spoken. if only everyone would realise this hahahahaha

Notice how only shitty artist that don’t sell records to real audiences always complain about Pirates. F’Off Mr Blunt and perhaps you should smkoe one!!!

I mean honestly, you don’t like it? FIND SOMETHING ELSE, thank GOD we broke away from your horrific UK. I hate eurotrash so much, and that is all you are Blunt.

Allen? I’d pee in her butt.

He just kept up well enough with the digital age for my subconscious to even let him go with the Trend.

The trend is your friend.

Booya.

Here, how about this…oddly enough, the TRUE people like Trend Reznor and NIN seem to manage just fine, while the turds that only get promoted by heavy rotation, music television hype and teenie mags seem to suffer a whole lot more.

Maybe it’s not just the media and laws that determine the amount and effect of piracy, but the fans suited to the artist?

What I’m really trying to say…if you make and represent sh*t both in music and in person(sorry, never liked Blunt or John), well, surprise, you’re just not gonna cut it.

If you’re as true to your consumers as you are to your music, well, then you won’t be peeing yourself over whether or not you get rich from what you do in the first place.

In the end, piracy might just end up serving the true meaning of Karma: those who are deserving without wanting, will achieve, while those who only do to exploit are demolished.

Indeed.

Ah, he starts right off with the normal “filesharing is theft” propaganda. I wonder how much his label paid him to do this, because he’s speaking from their mouth.

Don’t call it propaganda, and don’t immediately oust him for being a label person. By doing that, you’re charging your own words and making your own argument sound less believable.

It’s also called an “ad hominem” argument, I believe. This logical fallacy takes the form of, “This person’s a corporate shill so his opinions aren’t welcome here.”

I’ve never once heard of an artist or band that went under because of file sharing.

The standard industry answer: “That’s because you never hear about the artists that go under.”

I wouldn’t listen to your garbage even if YOU paid ME….

haha are you fucking kidding me? File-sharing has it made it easier than ever for an emerging artist to prosper. The only thing it does is make the filthy rich artists and little less rich. Live with it.

Also, do they seriously think that by dissconnecting those who “pirate” will want them go out and buy music or movies? Think about it? The British government is fucking retarded. gg when 50% of your country is dissconnected from the rest of the world.

I’m going to download your crap today, not because I like your shortlived dribbel, but because I CAN! Then, I’ll burn your shitty songs on a 100 CD’s, label them “Homosexual DanceHits vol 1-2″ and lob them over the fence at a local school!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Disconnecting those that propogate meaningless drivel for no reason except profit is far more important that disconnecting those that wish information to flow freely.

Blunt’s music is mostly inane “love” songs, sharing his worthless shít is an insult to the p2p networks that it is available on.

Nuff said, I’m out…

Instead, let artists populate the art form. Real artists with a message and a purpose but who aren’t scared to do gigs, manage themselves and use merchandise and royalties (actually working hard daily, engaging in business) to profit from.

If you’re going to spend 2-3 months in a studio… and think that’s enough for you to deserve to be set up for life… then YOU are the problem because you think you deserve a ridiculous amount of pay for a minimal amount of effort… which is just greedy.

There is your biggest problem, they see it as a business.
James Blunt is a fag with 1 fucking song that sucks and Lily Allen isn’t any better.

But you know, we will never admit it anyways.

Truth is we, the corporate people are greedy hypocrites. Call us morons, faggots if you wish. But the ones with the money is us. So haha at your face.

Maybe the reason you’re not making as much money anymore is because people are not so easily badgered (ads pretty much everywhere) into buying top 10 crap anymore. We can get our music from anywhere we want now, and not from a music store that has 1 rack of ‘hard rock’ (which appears to encompass anything from black metal to hardcore punk to psychobilly) and 10 racks for ‘chart toppers’. WTF.

Good to see the FAC with some common sense. The profits of the few should never out weigh the rights of us all. Death of the music industry, what shit. More like, death to people too lazy to think fresh.
