Don’t you just love it when recording artists are on the barricades to protect their “rights”. We, the people, are robbing those poor artists, and all the happy people they work with, of their money.

Lily Allen cares so much about this, she recently released an official against “online piracy” and even started a blog. A shame though 80% of that blog consists of unattributed newspaper clippings and articles she “stole” from digital news outlets — like Techdirt, their response to Allen delivers some excellent points regarding her recent crusade.

I think it’s rather sad that a young artist like Allen is basically hopping on the propaganda bandwagon of the “music industry” (or “Big Content”), especially because her fans discovered her on MySpace and actively shared her early songs. I don’t think our dear Lily would be in the comfortable position she is today, and others with her, if it weren’t for all these stealing mofo’s on the Internet.

Oh, the title. In my opinion Lily Allen shouldn’t sing either. But that’s just me, nitpicking.
