Kid Rock Lashes Out Against iTunes, Endorses Illegal Downloading

[BStecke]

128kbps and 256kbps are NOT CD quality. It'll be interesting to see how many established artists start embracing this mentality. Trent Reznor, in the Napster days, even said that piracy was wrong, plain and simple. But unlike the record companies who have no idea how to handle the internet in terms of their product, he's actually realized that there is no way he control people downloading his music, so he's changed how his product is distributed and ended up better for it. Yes, it does suck for up and coming acts, but at the same time, it encourages people to put out a better product.
