Phish's Trey Anastasio Discusses His "Strong Opinion" About Napster On Debut
of GetMusic's The A List With Anthony DeCurtis Show
NEW YORK, May 23, 2000 (ENTERTAINMENT WIRE) -- GetMusic the online music
content, community and commerce company backed by BMG Entertainment and
Universal Music Group, debuts its original series The A List With Anthony
DeCurtis tomorrow night with a provocative interview with Phish members Trey
Anastasio and Page McConnell. During the video interview, hosted by acclaimed
journalist DeCurtis, Anastasio shares his convictions regarding the
controversial online music file-sharing service, Napster.
"I have a very strong opinion about Napster. I think there are probably people
that don't see the big picture, and what's going to happen is that advertisers
are going to start getting paid and the artists aren't. The way the artist will
get paid is to be attached to an advertiser. And I'm strongly against music
being attached to the selling of a product.
"That being said," Anastasio continues, "I think the Internet is going to open
up a lot of possibilities with music, and the shake-up of power is exciting to
me. But I think that people should just be aware of the whole picture that when
you're downloading music you're putting money in the hands of corporations for
advertising and taking money away from the performers."
