I am a debut artist who’s just recorded one of the most expensive debut albums in recent history.

Like the artists mentioned in this article, we have just released my debut album as a FREE HQ Mp3 download.

It was a tough decision for us to make because of the vast amounts spent on the album. We had two of the biggest record producers in the world work on it…. at Peter Gabriel’s Realworld studio and at Abbey Road studio in london.

Despite all that, we recognise the massive potential the internet and free albums in particular offers. We launched last friday and have already had 1000′s of DL’s all over the world.

We are hoping that people like the album enough to come to a show, which is where hopefully my bread and butter will come from.

Come over and download for free.. it takes 2 minutes to DL because we have a dedicated server.

Also, %59 may have downloaded in the past. That does not mean that they still do it. Many people used Napster, back in the old days, but have since moved on to iTunes or something else.

Wow. I felt like I was reading an article by the Iraqi Information Minister.

If only 38% support it, than the story is that the majority of Swedish artists do NOT want to legalize filesharing. I suspect that artists in other countries are even less happy with it.

It seems that many musos are so dumb they think music sharing should be banned even though it’s ok to download it, or at least for them. Self-centred and short-sighted?

[quote comment="327562"][quote]No where does it say “MOST” artists, just ‘artists’ meaning more then one.

They say “Swedish artists” like it’s the artists as a whole, or majority.

If they wanted to say that it was just a few, they should have said “some Swedish artists”.[/quote]

But saying “some Sweedish artists” makes for a clumsy sounding headline. Headlines gotta conserve space, so they don’t go into that much detail. The headline “Sweedish artists” lets you know that some group of Swedish artists of considerable size and influence support filesharing, and then you are supposed to read the article to find out how much.
