Lily Allen has made a U-turn in her stance on music piracy.
</p>
<p>The Not Fair singer - who launched a scathing attack on
illegal file-sharing on her MySpace blog and attacked indie group
Radiohead for giving their latest album away on a pay-what-you-want
basis - claims she doesn't care if people copy her albums and sell them
on for a profit.</p>
<p>Allen, 24, told UK radio station Key 103
Radio: "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 do of value on my music."</p>
<p>In Allen's
original blog post she said downloading was starving up-and-coming
artists of money they need to keep producing music, and attacked the
Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) - whose members include Travis singer
Fran Healy, Blur drummer Dave Rowntree and Radiohead guitarist Ed
O'Brien.</p>
<p>She wrote: "I'm going to be writing to British
artists, saying just this: File sharing's not OK for British music. We
need to find new ways to help consumers access and buy music legally,
but saying file sharing's fine is not helping anyone - and definitely
not helping British music."</p>
<p>The FAC recently called for the
British government to abandon proposals to cut off the internet
connections of people who illegally download music.</p>Mick.<br>DSG.<br><br>
