I feel bad dissin' her, since the whole Internet's dissed her by now, but let me throw in the fact that she only became famous when her first album's tracks leaked online, because that's the killer for me.
- dkersten 17y agoTechdirt did a great article on this (well, multiple actually, but this one seems to be the latest and also most useful): http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090923/1409046297.shtml http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090923/1409046297.shtml
- RyanMcGreal 17y agoI thought this comment was well-stated: > The Danger (with a capital D) is that people use this as a "GOTCHA YOU HYPOCRITE!" moment instead of a teaching moment. > The way we SHOULD let this play out is to say, "Now, Lily, you see how easy it is to get caught up in this, even if you're a good person. Should we go after the worst and most egregious violators of the law? Sure. But the casual fan or artist may accidentally or innocently violate the law with the best intentions. And they shouldn't be persecuted." http://www.techdirt.com/article.php?sid=20090923/1409046297#c160 http://www.techdirt.com/article.php?sid=20090923/1409046297#...
