They also answered the question. People were using P2P because the release site was jammed. El Reg was insulting to both fans and the artist in this case. Did they really think the artist was to stupid to realize people would use P2P for downloading. Are fans really leaches to be downloading music released this way? The artist, by the way, ended up making a lot of money and got to keep most of it. Chances are, they made more than the average platinum selling band. That's the way music should work. Everyone gets to enjoy their culture and dedicated fans pay artists for physical artifacts.
