113 Swedish artists plead to the people to stop downloading: https://expressen.se/index.jsp?a=271429 (in Swedish)
The irony of the situation to me is that without p2p downloading, I would've never had the chance to listen to, enjoy and buy albums from quite a few of those artists.

Brand new exclusive mp3 today from Gbg-based indierockers Punk Of Country. Not only do these guys continually reach out to fans with free web-singles, but they're also showing their appreciation to supporters (like me) by passing along even more free stuff. I'm flattered! So yeah, not only do I benefit from feeling special, but so do you because now you have more great music to listen to. Enjoy!
