Oh good. Another reason I can reasonably dislike this band. I find them to be a poor version of one of my favorite bands (The Avett Brothers). I would think that having more people hear your music would be a good thing. Controlling or attempting to control whom hears it smacks of echoes of the Metallica 'Down with Napster' stuff. Either enjoy people listening earnestly to your music, or well, you're just a really interesting marketing project and not musicians IMHO.

The article is empty link bait, using 'Mumford and Sons' to get views. While I am also not a fan of the band, this 'article' doesn't suddenly make them Lars. The 'warning' seems generic speak slapped on things. A Google search shows Velvet Underground records from the 80's with this warning. Also, a lot of people think The Avett Brothers are considered a 'poor version' of folk music(easy listening, pop) in the same bucket as Mumford & Sons. Regardless of versions and quality, both are nice to listen to on summer days with friends(who often don't care much about music), regardless of who's imitating who.
