Quirky indiepop darling Lily Allen has been berating filesharers for bankrupting the music industry. This is dumb. But more importantly, Allen posted an article on her website explaining why copying is bad. An article from Techdirt that she copied and posted without attribution, which is a violation of Techdirt’s copyright.
