Joss Stone on sharing music

[Daniel]

?At last. A singer with brains!?

Interviewer: What do you think about piracy, about mp3, about the internet, about music?



Stone: I think it?s great.



Interviewer: Great?



Stone: Yeh. I love it. I think it?s brilliant, and I?ll tell you why. Music should be shared. I believe this is how music turned into like some crazy business.



Now, the only part about music that I dislike is the business that?s attached to it. Now, if music is free, there?s no business. There?s just music. So I like it. I think that we should share it.

It?s OK. If one person buys it, it?s totally cool. Burn it up. Share it with your friends. I don?t care. I don?t care how you hear it as long as you hear it; as long as you come to my show and have a great time and listen to the live show. It?s totally cool.



Interviewer: I think you are the first singer telling this story to me.



Stone: Yeh, because most people are, um, ["brainwashed", from someone siting beside her) yeh, they've been brainwashed by -- definitely, a perfect word for it.
