Comment Bowie & mp3 (Score 1) 98
There are way too many people here bashing The Immortal God of Rock n Roll... I offer up the following quote in defense of my personal favorite artist:
see this article
------------------------------------------------ --
As for his theory on the controversial MP3 format, Bowie said that although you won't find any MP3 files of Bowie songs on his site, he does support the idea of free musical downloads. "MP3s?" he said. "Oh, the more the merrier. I think MP3's are great. No plans to do any yet, but it's down the road."
------------------------------------------------ --
Just because he isn't providing them himself doesn't mean he thinks they're evil...
Just because he isn't doing it today doesn't mean he never will.
Also worth mentioning is DB's excellent track record wrt independent fan sites (unlike some artists we've read about here recently, DB actually seems to care about his online fan base), and the fact that Bowie has already made music freely available from his website (Telling Lies single in mp2 format about 2 years ago).
