What's your stand on music piracy and illegal downloading? Chances have it this applies to the majority of 14-18 year olds attending Underage festival next week, many of whom will have torrented your music ahead of seeing you.
Some of us are guilty of this, admittedly. Some of us are against it. As such we avoid the subject amongst us, it's definitely a bad thing for the industry, a good thing for the consumer, and a mixed bag for the artist.
I do think it devalues music though, makes it too readily available/disposable. The sense of working you way through an artist's career and output gradually is lost when you just a torrent a discography; decades of work digested, judged and maybe deleted in a matter of minutes.
