Was just reading the Onion AV Club’s interview with KRS-One, and he says some things about file-sharing that I like a whole lot.

Napster, to me, is liberation and freedom for artists. Yes, it directly goes against copyright laws. It is copyright infringement and it does, I think, dip into the sales of record companies. I think, in that sense, that it’s a destructive force for corporate America. But, then again, that’s what I stand for…

…If we’re going to operate in a capitalist system, then let’s uphold Napster, because that’s the balance, where people can go and download albums or singles or whatever. To me, that’s great. I think music should be free. I think all communication should be free. I think people should respect artists, and there should be a certain respect for artists who give their music away for free…

…You buy records, which present songs. But you shouldn’t have to buy songs. Songs are things that you get around a campfire and listen to and enjoy.

I like the last part so much that I put it in bold.
