Blur join row over MP3

Blur join row over MP3: mostly worth reading for the arrogant comments by a Jeepster spokesman. (Without internet piracy, incidentally, I would not now be into their most profitable band, whose records I have been buying in shops, rather than, as previously, not touching with a bargepole). Jeepster’s particular take on the situation is that indie labels deserve special attention because indie fans can’t live without music and are thus more likely to nick it, or something, and it’s much less harmful to steal major label pop because it’s disposable anyway. This addled nonsense mostly just proves that no matter how tangential it is, some indie ideologues will stop at nothing to get a cheap potshot in. And if “Legal Man” isn’t ‘disposable pop’ then I don’t know what is.
