Oh for goodness' sake. "Yeah, let's encourage everyone to download for free instead of buying CDs, cos that will really hurt the major record labels".
Then let's watch our favourite bands shrivel and die through lack of revenue. And watch the major record labels continue to promote and sign up mass-market dross bands to recover as much money as they can, rather than taking any risks at all on innovative new sounds. (It is happening already.)
Frankly, I think it is crass and stupid to even have a thread like this on Underworld's own forum. Nice message you are giving out from the "fans". And nice way of justifying to yourself why you
need to have music for free, by blaming the record label - and sod the effect on the band.
Pah. Enough said.
