Say what you like about Lily Allen. Agree with her. Disagree with her if you like. Whatever the position, it’s difficult to take it away from her – she has done more in the last week to raise the online debate over illicit file-sharing than any other artist in recent months. People are talking about this issue and that is always a good thing.
Debate, discussion and hopefully understanding will bring this file-sharing ‘war’ to an end one day but in the meantime let’s not forget what this is ultimately all about – the music.
“After Lily’s hectic week I’ve made a pro-filesharing song and video calling her up on a few of the claims she’s made,” begins an email from UK musician Dan Bull to TorrentFreak this morning.
“I’ve also tried to outline some of the main moral arguments for filesharing in the lyrics. Hope you enjoy, and hope the readers do too.”
Dan pretty much says it all in his song to Lily, so we’ll shut up now and let you enjoy it.
…or if you prefer, download the MP3 here.
Dan’s MySpace page can be found here and his album ‘Safe’ is available from CDBaby but can also be downloaded digitally from iTunes, Amazon and Napster.
You can grab it free of charge here
