heres a sample:

[url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4642362.stm]question: Most people in my age group (15) still download all of their music illegally. What action would you take to try to persuade this particular group to buy music?

answer: John Kennedy, IFPI: To me, if you steal music you can't be a real music fan.

Think of it this way - apart from potentially landing you a hefty fine, illegal downloading hurts all those whose job it is to create, develop and record music, and who depend on it for their livelihood. How would you feel if you were in a band struggling to break through and no-one paid for your first album? How would you feel when no-one was able to invest in your second album? And as a music fan, how do you think that'll impact on the variety of new, fresh music that you get to listen to?

The music industry has been working with different organisations to produce guides and online materials to explain to young people why illegal downloading is wrong - see www.pro-music.org/guide, www.childnet-int.org/music and www.pro-music.org.[/url]

Like most bands.

I'd feel that the label could probably take a small chunk out of the Black Eyed Pea's huge surplus and throw some crumbs my way.

Not at all.

Exactly how I feel, right now. Who is this douchebag?
