Because of file sharing, I'm no fan of hers but I guess she has a right to complain, if she feels she's losing money because people download her albums instead of buying them.

In this case, she's quitting because filesharers got mad at her for telling them they're thieves, well done assholes.

In my experience, someone who downloads an album and never buys it was never going to buy it anyways. I'm not saying that makes it right to download, just that I don't think it's affecting her sales as much as she thinks it is. The sad fact is that, filesharing or no, people just don't buy music the way they used to.

This singlehandedly justifies filesharing. Fuck Lily Allen.

However, Techdirt said that Allen printed an entire post from their site on her blog, thus infringing their copyright, and that she used mix-tapes of other people’s music early in her career which she distributed free. They said: “The fact that she is trying to claim that such copying is bad while doing it herself suggests something of a double standard.”

Allen issued an apology for using the Techdirt post, saying: “I think it’s quite obvious that I wasn’t trying to pass off those words as my own, and later adding that “I made those mix-tapes five years ago, I didn’t have a knowledge of the workings of the music industry back then.”
Oh I don't have any knowledge of the film industry, time to download!

Fuck Lilly Allen. Dumb rich girl with no talent, dependant on her father's influence, carries a fake cockney accent and indulges in hypocritical actions that have rightly bit her in her arse.

I read she once complained about touring because she had to sing the same songs over and over. Yes, flee to acting, that's where the money is!

Ok, nobody tell her about this whole 'movie piracy' thing, otherwise she'll never get anything done.
