Lily Allen Gets On Board With Pirates
Filed under: Gossip, Lily Allen
Lily Allen has made a U-turn in her stance on music piracy.
The 'Not Fair' singer - who launched a scathing attack on illegal file-sharing on her MySpace blog and attacked indie group Radiohead for giving their latest album away on a pay-what-you-want basis - claims she doesn't care if people copy her albums and sell them on for a profit.
Lily, 24, told UK radio station Key 103 Radio: "If someone comes up with a burnt copy of my CD and offers it to you for £4, I haven't a problem with that as long as the person buying it places some kind do of value on my music."
In Lily's original blog post she said downloading was starving up-and-coming artists of money they need to keep producing music, and attacked the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) - whose members include Travis singer Fran Healy, Blur drummer Dave Rowntree and Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien.
