#2Wonderful, wonderful. Way beyond your typical anti-IP rant.

#3I'm usually not a music person.
But this is brilliant. The amount of effort that must have gone into making something like this... Timing the typing and speaking to the rhythm. It helps that I disagree with the modern state of IP.
I hope it goes viral. Dear Lily, why you being so silly...

#4I'm glad to see that the artist who performed this isn't just talking about it, he's actually doing what he says. I poked around a little ways, got to his MySpace page, and found this: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&..., where he not only provides the link to buy his newest album, but he also provides a link to download it too (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMMBYOTZ).
As a side note, I don't understand the recent trend for bands to only have a MySpace page, and not have their own site. It just seems a little tacky to me.

I particularly liked his last line: But when you're between the devil and the deep blue sea, you need to stop worrying about pirates, and adjust your sails. It seems particularly apt in the current state of the internet.

It breaks the analogy, though. When you have the devil to pay, adjusting your sails won't do any good. Pirates or not.

#7Terrific (and probably effective) song.
Half way through Dan Bull implied that he took the background score from one of Lily's songs. He did, but he never properly gave credit at the end of the clip. And that's just not cool. Even if you think that music should be in the public domain (like I believe all university papers should be) you still must never use something without giving credit where it's due.
It only took 20 seconds to Google, but still. The original song is "22" from the album "It's Not Me, It's You".

I think the recent trend you're referring to is not-so-recent for more than a year now and is already on the decline. But reasons are quite obvious.

Lily Allen's career took off because of her myspace page as she uploaded songs/videos. In her case, she never needed a website.

I really wish that muxtape would get their act together. Even if it would be "for bands only" the interface and quality of it far surpassed myspace. Why sites liske purevolume and myspace are the defacto site for promoting bands is beyond me.
