Neil Young: 'Online piracy is the new radio'

Neil Young was at the D: Dive Into Media conference in Laguna Niguel, California, on January 30-31. The theme of the event was exploring the impact of the digital world on our lives.

The rock icon explained his thought on internet piracy and downloads... and he has a really strong and interesting opinion on it: "It doesn’t affect me because I look at the internet as the new radio,” he explains. “I look at the radio as gone. Piracy is the new radio. That’s how music gets around… That’s the radio. If you really want to hear it, let’s make it available, let them hear it…".

His main concern is that the MP3 files we have are simply bad quality sound. According to Young, the average MP3 file only contains about five percent of the audio from an original recording, and he says Apple Lossless only offers "10.3 percent”.
