Lily Allen: P2P a “Disaster” for New Artists

Lashes out at big name artists like Radiohead who criticize UK govt proposals to “criminalize” music fans and disconnect file-sharers from the Internet. UK pop singer Lily Allen is lashing out at what she calls “rich and successful” music artists from the Featured Artists Coalition for criticizing efforts by the UK govt for a “three-strikes” crackdown on illegal file-sharing. She thinks P2P is especially harmful to new and emerging artists who don’t have “loads of albums to flog to a new audience.” “Basically the FAC is saying ‘we’re alright, we’ve made it, so file sharing’s fine’,” she said in a MySpace celebrity blog post ( via Contact Music ).
