Not that I’m really a fan, but I just don’t see many other major artists freely offering their albums. Instead, there was a war on pirating. I remember the Metallica-Napster controversy 8 years ago. Napster had gone away, but up popped Audiogalaxy, Kazaa, Limewire, Soulseek. After numerous transformations, we are still getting our free music. It’s refreshing for a band to surpass this and officially allow downloads. (But remember guys, it’s bad to ’steal music’ – take without permission! Support bands, especially local and/or independent bands that actually need the funds!)
