Splendid stuff from the peerless TorrentFreak, in an interview with a UK musician : “Let’s consider this more closely - a person who values our music
has kindly made a copy of a CD and gone out of their way to spread the
word about us. That recipient has then bought both a ticket to see us
and a CD on the night.” So it’s obvious that being a pirate doesn’t
exclude people from being a fan, they just aren’t paying at the point
of piracy - but they will, when the circumstances are right. Steve also believes that ’sharing’ really is ‘caring’, which is
refreshing in these ’sue-em-all’ days: “You may call this process
‘piracy’ if you wish - for me it is an act of generosity and it both
increases our audience size and record sales. And as I always say on
the night - if you’re going to do it anyway you may as well feel good
about it!”
