dukkookin - no-one's denying U2 are influential 9anf if they are, then they're in denial), but given how much money the band have made, they should be giving much more to charity themselves and lead by example. Downloading is not killing the music industry it's saving it. Let's be honest, U2 have made enough money to live on for several lifetimes. They don't need any more, and neither does Mcguinness.The problem is when people who know NOTHING about music are running the music industry. anyone who thinks selling music is like selling baked beans is clueless.
