Lily Allen is OK with Fans Buying Her Burned CDs

After being at the core of the file sharing debate between artists and announcing her retreat from it later due to the “abuse” her blog was getting as a consequence of her views posted there, Lily Allen joins the issue again. This time she says that she is not against people getting burned copies of her CDs as long as they pay for them.

"If someone comes up with a burnt copy of my CD and offers it to you for £4 I haven't a problem with that as long as the person buying it places some kind of value on my music," she told Key 103.

The British pop singer had launched at first harsh criticism against the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) for their supposed tolerance towards illegal file sharing. However, the group later sent her a letter in which they made it clear that, actually, they did not condone online piracy but it was a mere matter of focal points – the ‘three strikes’ policy didn’t seem to them the perfect solution for the problem.
