Re: Hook, Line, and Sinker

So, if a band you liked, released a press statement that they were mad at pirates, and was stupid enough to say that those downloading the song weren't their "fans", that would make you want to buy the new album more?

If any band I liked did that crap, I would make sure they never saw a penny of mine until they did something I approved of to make up for it.

Yeah, I'm only one person, but if enough people stop buying things in response to publicity stunts, or better yet spend even less in response to them, they will stop doing them.

A band I liked once did that. I no longer listen to them and I helped them to lose sales - I sold my collection of their CDs to a used CD shop. You might have heard of them, they go by Metallica.
