I've never posted anything on this blog about filesharing, downloading, or any other method of less-than-legal music obtainment. While I may have pointed the way to a leaked album or two, it's always followed up with a recommendation to purchase the album if it's something that the downloader enjoys.
However, this post by UGA professor David Lowery is too good not to talk about. It's an open letter to Emily White of NPR, correctly calling into question her, as well as an entire new generation of music "fans". The link to the article is here. Thanks to Absolutepunk.net for the tip.
