Sympathetic to downloads
p2p news / p2pnet: "I like the idea that, because of downloading, people are going to buy songs only if they are good. I think that’s a positive thing. It means lazy bands aren’t going to get away with giving you one hit single and an album full of filler. We like the idea that every song should stand up in its own right so you don’t have to listen to a song in the context of an album to understand it.
"I suppose that’s why I’m sympathetic to the download environment."
Who said that?
Franz Ferdinand band member Alex Kapranos in a Playboy interview, as quoted in Torrentfreak.

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local political representatives. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance.

I think there are a lot more bands that feel the same way Franz Ferdinand does, however due to pressure from their labels, they don’t speak out. That’s too bad. I’d love to hear what bands really think about RIAA’s actions

That’s because Franz Ferdinand are on Domino Records, which as far as I’m aware isn’t an RIAA/BPI member
