Robbie Williams ruft zum illegalen Download seiner Musik auf
Robbie Williams (29) hat Fans in aller Welt zum illegalen Download seiner Musik aus dem Internet aufgerufen. "Das ist eine großartige Sache, ehrlich. Es gibt nichts, was irgendjemand dagegen tun könnte", sagte er am Wochenende am Rande der Musikmesse Midem in Cannes. "Ich bin sicher, dass mich meine Plattenfirma EMI für diese Aussage hassen wird -- und mein Management und meine Buchhalter", fügte er ironisch grinsend hinzu. Zur gleichen Zeit diskutierten rund 1000 Fachleute auf dem eintägigen Kongress Midemnet in Cannes über Wege, die Online-Musikpiraterie einzudämmen, die der Musikindustrie jährlich Millionenverluste bringt.
