Are all bands against music piracy? Are they against fans downloading their music for free illegally? Not all of them. Some of them are actually all for people stealing their music whenever they want to. Metal legends, Iron Maiden has been in touch with a company called, MusicMetric, which is a company that measures data of how well a band does with illegally downloaded music. The company is able to tell how much music is illegally downloaded in countries all over the world. Iron Maiden has found that a lot of people has downloaded their music illegally from countries such as South America, Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. Is the band upset for fans illegally downloading their music? Nope. Think again. Seems like they are so flattered that they performed concerts for pirates instead.

See? This is what I’M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT GUYS!!!! It should be all up to the band how they want to release their music, not the labels. There are some bands out there that think music should be a free market and it’s great to see that Iron Maiden is one of those bands who believe in it.

This is their way of taking a stand against the shady music industry and it’s awesome. Makes me respect Iron Maiden even more now!

Music doesn’t always have to be about the money, ya know? It should be about playing music for the people and sharing it. That’s what a lot of these guys do it for. Iron Maiden doesn’t give a rats ass about money and this shows it too! It’s all about the love of music guys. If you let people take your music free… you can get more popular and more fans that way.

I refuse to put my music on Itunes and Spotify ’cause I don’t want people paying for my music. I’ll just let people take it and listen to it. A free music market is a better way to get your music out there.
