Canadian Artist: P2P Great if it Brings People to Concerts
Indie folk-rock singer Daniel Mangan says he “doesn’t mind” people sharing his music online it if it means they’ll attend one of his concerts and “have a real face to face, human interaction.” Canadian Indie folk-rock singer Daniel Mangan is one of the growing number of music artists who’ve embraced file-sharing as an opportunity to reach new fans rather than as an enemy who needs to be defeated at all costs. Unlike UK pop singer Lily Allen, who blasted P2P as a “disaster” for emerging artists and therefore a principal reason why the UK govt needs to institute a “three-strikes” crackdown on illegal file-sharing, Mangan sees it as a means to reach out to people and convince them to attend one of his concerts or buy some of his band merchandise. “I don’t mind people sharing my music, if downloading or pirating a digital format of a song brings someone to a gig and then they have a real face to face, human interaction, maybe they bring a friend, maybe they buy a t-shirt, that’s great for me,” he told the Telegraph on the verge of his European tour.
