It seems that a fierce debate surrounding illegal and unauthorised file-sharing is in full swing within the music world. Lily Allen was one of the first stars to speak out on music piracy and she's made it clear that in her opinion, music piracy is having a harmful effect on British music.
Other stars including James Blunt and Gary Barlow have now jumped in to support Lily's views, they argue that illegal sharing is ruining the careers of current and new artists.
A number of musicians, including Ed O'Brien from Radiohead and Blur's Dave Rowntree, have opposed these claims and believe that those who do file-share should not be punished.
