    I mean, look at them...seriously....

    next thing you'll tell me the women in the Robert Palmer video (RIP) aren't his real band.

    Thanks for explaining the Farian situation. if only he'd been better looking he could have mimed to his own music.

    Lets also not forget that there are thousands of artists who do infact play their own material on their own records (the odd guest artist included for good measure) and represent themselves as such, and a large swag of the discerning music listeners do care. (notice I said discerning as opposed to background listeners)

    can we have another clue on the faker nz artist please.

    article on the pirate bay bit torrent site regarding their up coming trail and allegations they make millions in advertising from their site.

    pirate bay

    "its the artists that are walking the plank while the pirates are stealing their treasure"

    surely they could have got a parrot reference into that sentence too

    Internet users who illegally download music and films could lose their access to the web under legislation aimed at cracking down on those who flout piracy laws. Powers being drafted by the government will compel internet service providers to take action against customers who access pirated material. The Department of Media, Culture and Sport will recommend the plan in a green paper on the creative industries to be published this month, a source with knowledge of the paper said. Under the new sanctions users will face a “three strikes” regime. A warning email will be sent for the first offence, followed by suspension from the service and finally termination of the internet contract.

    A draft copy of the green paper said the government “will move to legislate to require internet service providers to take action on illegal file-sharing,” although it has yet to decide if information on offenders should be shared between the ISPs, the Times reported. The government has come under increasing pressure from the music and film industries to penalise users who download pirated files. Although piracy is illegal, prosecutions are rare. The UK’s four largest internet providers - BT, Tiscali, Orange and Virgin Media - are already in talks with studios on a joint voluntary agreement to share information on web violators. But under the legislation they could be forced to cut off customers. ISPs which fail to enforce the rules could face prosecution, and suspected customers handed over to the courts. Similar laws already exist in many countries but ISPs hardly disconnect someone, as they get money from such a user.

    and even though our esteemed panel of experts are skeptical the people at Releaselog the piracy advocate scene group had this to say

    This law could easily change everything…

    no, because it was the record company in the US, Arista, who changed, without Farian knowing, the credits to include fake vocal credits,

    who made the videos of the two miming to the tracks and who authorised putting their muggs on the front cover? Was that the record company too with out farian's knowledge? I'd find that a little hard to swallow.
