Enslaved downloads a sheep

The norwegian Liberal Party Venstre suggests that downloading music from the internet should be legalized.
Grutle Kjellson and Ivar Peersen from Enslaved didn't quite agree, so they went up to the leader of Venstres farm to "download" one of his freerange mountain-sheep to see how he'd feel about his own suggestion...

If the bands keep on making good cd's and artwork than I keep on buying them :)

@Grindermetalhead Then you're obviously not a musician, because it's apparrent that you haven't quite wrapped you mind around the fact that an awful lot of us have been training our entire lives and putting countless hours of practice in to creating our art in the hopes that it might actually earn us a livelihood, only to have said hopes dashed by some dumbass like you who can't be bothered to spend an extra $10 that took one of us maybe a year and a half of sweat, blood, and tears to make.

I've spent a LOT more money on t-shirts and tickets than on cd's. Isn't that way more profitable for the bands than buying their cd's? I sometimes buy cd's when I have money though, but usually at a bargain price/used cd whenever possible. I doubt buying one at a store is going to profit the band a lot as a huge % of the cd price doesn't go the artist, right? Perhaps that should change.

Legalizing downloads however is bullshit. Or should I say sheepshit.

Enslaved must be in favor of SOPA and PIPA and that's a good think. Protect artistic property.

@Saligia667 I got insurance, hope you die from it.

@1337bard Oh, so stealing is ok as long as you don't make a profit from it? I'll steal your car and crash it then, shall I? I mean, I'm not making a profit from it, so that must be ok with you!

Good luck with your campaign to stop Venstre from legalizing downloads. They are using the mainstream music industry to take control of the web.

Please do a web search on SOPA by Michael Mozart

Pt 2 is hilarious

@1337bard The transition of music from CD's to the Internet does not suddenly make music worthless, in my opinion. And I wouldn't consider "charity" to be stealing from bands, who are usually not rich at all, to give to people who refuse to buy their music like everyone else.

[1337bard]

@aarongtr180 I don't know why you think that, the person who rips the cd/dvd is usually the person that shares and seeds it. It's all for free, because it's illegal to profit from it. Think of the file-sharing community as a charity giving music to poor people. Besides the music industry has taken a bigger hit from iTunes than napster because nobody needs cd's anymore.

@1337bard So only once a form of media can be digitized should people download it for free? That doesn't seem morally consistent. Oh well, to each their own, I suppose.
