EXACTLY Leo. That's what people don't understand. She was obviously complaining about copy-right infringement because her latest album wasn't selling well and she thought it was because people were downloading it (which could or could not be the case, that's not the point).The fact that she tried to seem righteous with "It's hurting the little guy, I'm not complaining about the money" stuff makes this even worse. So now that it's clear that complaining about copy-right infringement when you're a millionaire musician doesn't go over with your non-millionaire fans, you are going to give up the fight??This line says it all "“The days of me making money from recording music has been and gone as far as I’m concerned, so I don’t stand to profit from [anti-piracy] legislation.”Absolutely pathetic. I hope Lily Allen seriously stops making music, has to work a 9-5, and can't afford to buy a 15 dollar piece of plastic and resorts to downloading music.And Mr. Nathan. If she truly was an artist she would write and sing because it's something she loves. Being a musician is only a job becuase you have to perform. Writing a record in the studio is NOTHING (it can be done for cheap....I'm talking hundreds of dollars and less than 24 hours total time). My friend has a studio in his basement that is just as good as a major record company. I'm not saying she shouldn't get paid for performing, but it's crap to say that we're "stealing" anything by downloading music. If anything we're stealing from the record company, not the musician, and if that's the case, f**k THE RIAA.
