So it looks like yesterday was a pretty busy day. Many hits on the website due to you know what. Many people questioning mine, and other members integrity over the fact we’ve downloaded early. In response to a couple of these things I’d like to say/clarify:
- Yes, I have downloaded 10,000 Days.
- Yes, I am aware it’s not entirely legal.
- No, I don’t believe the band is unduly upset about fans downloading the album early.
- Yes, I do think the band would be upset if early downloaders decided not to pay.
- I care about the artwork, it means a lot to me and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I don’t feel that it enhances the listening experience though.
- Nor do I feel that waiting until the release date is going to somehow ‘enhance’ the experience.
- I have never censored comments, nor will I ever censor them (spam excepted). Free speech does include the right to say what other people disagree with. It also includes the right to post links to whatever you wish.
It’s inevitable that the comments regarding should you, shouldn’t you download will continue, and it’s a healthy debate, but lets try and stick to the facts and not resort to shit slinging. Leave that for the monkeys….
