he is not speaking out for P2p at all. it looks more like he is against it and won’t lose sleep over it.

Usually the bands that get involved with file-sharing are nobodies and slag off P2P.

Yet here is a top band speaking out in favour of it.

I think Travis are really good and if anyone outside of the UK hasn’t heard of them you should definately give them a try :)

Fran Healey is sooo right about the business working on an old model and the internet being a giant!

Good on him for having *such* a modern view.

“Who the fuck ARE travis !!Why do Americans always use the singular when describing groups ,who are, by their very nature plural? bit off topic i know,but it fuckin pisses me off!!”

Dude, read a grammar book. The correct rule here is that a group can be seen as either singular (i.e., *one* group) or plural (i.e., *many* ppl). Hence, “WTF is Travis?” and “WTF are Travis?” are *both* correct.

“If I was a gambling man I’d wager Internet is taking over from TV and will probably replace it by 2040.”

He’d lose a lot of money. Dunno about there, but over here there are already more ppl using the internet frequently than those who watch TV frequently. :D

But isn’t the band singular? There is only one band called Travis. It’s just one thing. If someone said “who are the members of Travis” then it would be plural because there is more than one member of the band.

Actually I’m Canadian. But thanks for grouping me in with those douchbags.

Mistaking a Canadian for an American is terribly offensive here. lol.

you do realise that this is about a music blog and not about a file-sharing network? A lot of bands allow their music to be downloaded free in various blogs.

@pixie 4 Travis didn’t say that they agree with file-sharing. Indiana Gregg actually said she was for file-sharing but believes that musician’s should have a share of the revenues on torrent sites. She has given away several of her songs free. I have downloaded full files from her. I’m a glaswegian living in the US and I follow glasgow music so I know a lot about.

I think it’s great. but, at least travis had the chance to give their blessings for this guy. bands still should have a choice where their music is shared or where it is given away as a download.

Do not go there… Drive d/l shite.

Maybe because Â»TravisÂ« is a persons name? When I’d form a band and name it Â»JohnÂ« and you’d hear someone talk about Â»JohnÂ« not knowing it is a band you’d probably ask the same question. Â»Who’s JohnÂ«.

PS: You’re an idiot.

This is great and all, and I think the bands music is pretty cool.

But can someone help me understand this part?

“Maybe a way to deal with the situation would be to not go for the guy streaming the content but go for the service provider. If you took away free entertainment from the menu, they’d lose 99% of their business. If I was a gambling man I’d wager Internet is taking over from TV and will probably replace it by 2040.”

Is he saying.. make the ISP’s kill the file sharing sites?

Why the hell would you try and make it the service providers problem.. thats just wrong.

or mabye im missing something.

Travis are a great British band that fortunately come from the era where music still had some talent. Then came Simon Cowell…

@14 +25 you can thank your creator that ME is not a mod here ;-) otherwise your spam like repeated linking would have been gone right that moment.
(Yes you morons on the dark knights, that is what happend to yours on some on TPB)

@ people from Glasgow

I guess artist with such attitude turns the picture regarding what kind of people come from where you live.

Say glasgowers, don’t you feel ashamed such such a bitch like “Melissa” Indi Gregg and the wannebee highlander Ian claim to origin from glasgow too? Blame the Lenzie guys for harboring such clear idiots compared to Travis.

@Travis
Well, I don’t know exactly how high the fees for micro money payment systems are, but if you guys can get a good deal, then why not setup such an account so that those that “pirate” your songs (while you obviously don’t think that this is bad) can donate you guys some “P irate R adio S ystem”-money for listening to you via Radio 2.0 aka Bittorrent
