Mess in Britain: Radiohead y Blur, among other established musicians, criticized the plan of the British government to punish Internet users who illegally download content from the network with the suspension of the service, claiming that in this way they will combat the piracy.
«That will start a war that they will not win"Said Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien. «I spoke the other day with a serial pirate who is a friend, he downloads movies and hasn't paid for music in six years. I asked him his opinion on the government and he laughed«.
For his part, Blur drummer Dave Rowntree said that “We do not want to make enemies among our fans, the most sensible thing is to try to see how we can make money from the activity of illegal downloads, which is proof that there is a lot of interest in music«.
