Overview
FLEET FOXES have said they don't understand the problem with illegal downloading
The group said they urge people to take their music however they want and think fellow musicians should stop complaining.
Singer Robin Pecknold said: "I don't care abut piracy, I downloaded hundreds and hundreds of records, why should I care if someone take ours?
"That's a really petty thing to care about, how much money do I need? I think it's disgusting when people complain about that. I'm up for illegal downloads, absolutely."
The frontman also insisted that the easy availability of music was beneficial to the industry.
He added: "I think as much music as you can hear - especially for musicians - will only make music better and we're seeing that now in terms of new bands, they're doing way better now and making better music now than before."
