Lily Allen Quits Music?

2009-09-24 by Thomas S. | 49 Comments
'Lily Allen has given up her fight against illegal file sharing and says she has quit the music business altogether after announcing on Twitter that "the abuse was getting too much".
This week, Allen launched a blog, "It's Not Alright", in which she slammed illegal downloading and threw her support behind plans by the British Government to disconnect music pirates from the internet.'

What's the deal with her suddenly jumping on the 'eye-band' makeup bandwagon recently. The whole blog thing is pretty funny.

Childish, childish. She's just throwing a fit, not really quitting music. Though I could do without her music.

Do you know what this is? It's the world's smallest violin playing just for Ms. Allen.

What ever happened to 'the consumer is always right'? Suing people and cutting off their internet won't fix this problem. The industry needs to find a way to profit from delivering music to people the way the way they want it.

Wasn't she the one who had to remove mixtapes from her official site? Sounds like a hypocrite to me.

Lily Allen isn't as horrible as everyone makes her out to be, but does she honestly expect to get sympathy from the music community when every other artist has to deal with the same problems? The only reason you should get into music in the first place is if you love it, not because you want profit.
See ya.

I adore Lily, but this whole situation is very out of hand.

You should all check out this song "Dear Lily" by Dan Bull. It samples "22" and it's hilarious.

I don't really like her music and I'm not sure how quitting will help...
But she seems like a nice person and I completely agree without her about illegal downloading.

people who illegally download music actually purchase more music than those who only purchase music. saying this is just gonna piss people off and, chances are, usually people who enjoy the music they've downloaded would buy it, but if she's acting like an arse (which she is) why are people gonna wanna support her??

This is dumb, I hate when stars get all self-righteous about their shit getting downloaded for free. I listen to a lot of music and can only afford (maybe) 10 CDs a month. If I had to pay 15 bucks for every album in my iTunes, I'd be broke. If I could only get 10 new albums a month, I'd shoot myself. Just shut the fuck up, keep making good music* and you can sit and collect royalties on music videos, concerts, merch, etc. Most other types of artists don't charge each person for looking at or enjoying their art, that's not the point of it.

*And yes, Lily Allen is one of the few of her type (that being female pop stars) who actually has genuine talent and writes entertaining and clever pop songs. I'd rather Ashley Simpson got all pissed off about illegal file sharing and quit music.

And all these stupid comments like the one above that reads "lol smelly whore who cnat [sic] sing ohhh no" are fucking ridiculous. If this thread was about a male pop star, there'd be no dumb bullshit like "smelly whore." Give her a break and stop thinking with your penises. Yes, she is a woman, let's move on.
