Perry Farrell: Illegal Downloading Is Killing Music

Former Jane’s Addiction singer Perry Farrell has claimed illegal downloading is killing the music industry.

The frontman has claimed illegal downloading is responsible for a multitude of sins – including American Idol.

He says, “If you don't care what happens to music, keep downloading. Look at music and look at the polar caps - they're melting at the same rate.

"If you hear garbage music on your radio station, you have only yourself to blame. If you don't support the arts, that's what you're going to get.

“You're going to get American Idol. It's fine if you want to hear that, but I don't.”

Bit ironic coming from a man whose best tune is called Been Caught Stealing.
