Kid Rock supports illegal downloading

[Dark Blue]

Kid Rock loves illegal downloading. The singer told the BBC why his music isn't available on iTunes. He said, "The internet was an opportunity for everyone to be treated fairly, for the consumer to get a fair price, for the artist to be paid fairly, for the record companies to make some money. [It's} an old system, where iTunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don't give it to the artists."

He went on to say that he didn't mind if his songs were illegally downloaded once his fans buy tickets to his shows, "I was telling kids: download it illegally, I don't care. I want you to hear my music so I can play live. But I think they should steal everything. You know how much money the oil companies have? If you need some gas, just go fill your tank off and drive off, they're not going to miss it."

Kid Rock did clarify that he doesn't steal because as he put it, "I'm rich."

Haha makes sense also why he wants them to download it illegally, cause that few cents doesn't mean shit cause "he's rich"

[DelinQuent]

no, because artists hardly make any money off of sales.

they make nearly all their money thru doing shows and touring. so he could give a shit if you buy the album, he just wants you to buy a ticket to his show.

Good point shows are straight cash and a lot of it, I guess it depends on how popular of an artist you are.

[j_shady]

i agree w/ Kid Rock, shit if i was an artist i'd want people to d/l my shit illegally too...juss as long as they go to my live shows, they make more money on touring than what the actual record companies give them
