The British artist Lily Allen was against the online music distribution by considering the practice as piracy. His remarks were prompted by the recent decision by the band Pink Floyd and Radiohead to distribute their tracks by this means.
Musicians Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, Radiohead's Ed O'Brien and belong to an association called Featured Artists Coalition, which adopted this method of sharing music online.
Given the recent coalition statement, published in The Times, Allen said in his MySpace blog. In his text, says that piracy is a l a blow to the British music industry, since halting the advance of new talent.
In his critique, the singer says that Mason and O'Brien did not
affect the distribution of music over the Internet due to its high purchasing power and the great capacity of having their concerts, which represents a great return on investment . However, Lily Allen claims that new artists can not arise without the record sales revenue.
Finally, the blog post explains that the new talents take on debt to record companies to make their productions, so that legal music sales is the only way that they have to repay this debt.
