> He's basically the Jimmy Savile of record producers. No, he is not! Jimmy Savile personally molested hundreds of children. Steve Albini did nothing remotely comparable. He may have looked at some CSAM and wrote some (intentionally) gross notes about it. There are other quotes that suggest he was legitimately horrified by the idea of child abuse, see for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40308528 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40308528 EDIT: I don't want to downplay his vile comments, I just think that the comparison is not justified at all.
