Download Pirates Give Shakira A Perfect 10

Ever since Lily Allen threw her 2 cents into the file-sharing debate, the press has been asking other female singers what they think of Lily’s views. Shakira is proving the most attractive to pirates so far.

Shakira, Norah Jones and Nelly Furtado have added their opinions to the ongoing debate on illicit file-sharing.

While going a lot further than most artists, Norah Jones isn’t going to give pirates a completely guilt free ride, but is nevertheless staying positive.

“If people hear it I’m happy. I’m not going to say go and steal my album, but you know I think its great that young people who don’t have a lot of money can listen to music and be exposed to new things,” she said. “But I also understand it’s not ideal for the record industry, and a lot of young artists who wont make any music off their album sales, but at least they can tour,” added Jones.

Nelly Furtado believes that music will get made by people who want to make it, and if they’re good enough, earn enough to get by.

“You’ll find an audience, and you may not make like millions of dollars but you’ll make enough to have a house and a family and a car,” she said. “I don’t know though, maybe the clock is ticking.”

Tulisa from N-Dubz says she’s worried about a charity song she’s making. It’s called “I Got Soul” and the money is going to War Child, so if you want to support them, throw them a few dollars, download or not. But pray Tulisa doesn’t get in to power anywhere. “I don’t see what else we can do,” she said “apart from kill off Limewire.”

Oh oh. Don’t tell her about Frostwire.

Last but not least, scoring a perfect 10/10 with pirates and beating Nelly and Norah to the post is Shakira.

“I like what’s going on because I feel closer to the fans and the people who appreciate the music,” she said. “It’s the democratization of music in a way, and music is a gift. That’s what it should be, a gift.”

Shakira there, getting more attractive to Internet-using music lovers every minute, if that’s even possible.
