I spend all my time right now trying to combat music retail and copyright.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I really believe in finding new ways to distribute my music.
I like to take music from everywhere and put it in my style and let it be accepted.
I may quit the music business someday, but never the music.
Punishing people for listening to music is exactly the wrong way to protect the music business.
The reality is that people think it's okay to steal music.
I've copyrighted 3,000 songs.
It's funny how the music industry is enraged about the Internet and the way things are copied without being paid for. But you know why people steal the music? Because they can't afford the music.
I download, like, forty songs a day, I'm a big music collector and a big record collector.
Professionally, I want to keep playing music; I can't escape that.
I try to steal something from the great singers. Of course, I don't want to imitate their sound, but I try to do a sort of compromise.
