Posted November 22, 200915 yr Lily Allen has waded into the illegal download debate again, claiming that she doesn't oppose people purchasing burned copies of her CDs as long as they pay for them. The singer, who previously launched a campaign against illegal file-sharing and said that music piracy and downloading is damaging the industry, said she wants fans to appreciate the value of her work. "If someone comes up with a burnt copy of my CD and offers it to you for £4 I haven't a problem with that as long as the person buying it places some kind of value on my music," she told Key 103. The singer's old anti-file-sharing blog was supported by a host of artists including Mark Ronson, Gary Barlow of Take That and Bat For Lashes Natasha Khan before she pulled the plug on it in September because the "abuse" she was getting for doing it was "getting too much". The star initially criticised the Featured Artists Coalition, which is supported by Radiohead's Ed O'Brien, over their stance on illegal downloads. But they later sent her a letter outlining that they were in fact opposed to the concept in principle. Goodness. I've gone from absolutely adoring Lily in 2006/2007 etcetc. to really starting to dislike her. :/ I get what she's trying to do is and whatever but what a twat, honestly.
November 23, 200915 yr Author Like most people did. I found her much more appealing when she was sarcastic and opinionated. Now she comes off as uptight and self important. Sad.

January 13, 201015 yr I like her and her music a lot more now than in 2006, but I still don't think she's a very nice, or mature, person. This story about illegal downloading is getting old now, move on dear.
January 13, 201015 yr Give money to a random stranger who illegally downloaded the music, most likely. Yeah... SMART. :manson:
January 13, 201015 yr Her music has certainly improved from her first album but I still dont think much of her personality. Still cant stand her :)
January 26, 201015 yr Gone of her so much. From crap like this to her whole staying of the net thing. Get over yourself love.
