Id have never have believed it :eek:
Michael Jackson has slammed a proposed US bill which could see music file traders jailed for downloading just one illegal copy.

In a statement, the superstar said: "I am speechless about the idea of putting music fans in jail for downloading music. It is wrong to illegally download, but the answer cannot be jail.

"Here in America we create new opportunities out of adversity, not punitive laws, and we should look to new technologies like Apple's new Music Store for solutions.

Wait for it...
"This way, innovation continues to be the hallmark of America. It is the fans that drive the success of the music business."

:eek:

    Always liked Michael...despite his...erm...quirks.

    Now if only a few more big names would stand with him, we'd have a legitimate resistance movement.
