p2pnet news view | P2P | Music:- Seeing the p2pnet post on UK ex-alternative rock star Billy Bragg’s views on ‘illegal’ filesharing and how to stop it , “What about real independent artists whom are not part of FAC because they are not on any label?” – asks frequent poster Robert (right) in a Reader’s Write .
