There are a lot of artists who don't give a rats artichoke for illegal downloads. George Michael was quoted last year as saying that he couldn't spend any more money than he already had, so why shouldn't people get his back catalogue for free. No doubt a dig a Sony records for holding him back all those years. I guess it's fine to say that when you have all the money you can spend, but maybe new artists would think differently.
