I think you need to re-read that interview, and I STRONGLY encourage any who read this blog to do the same. Patrick has conveniently taken bits and pieces from lines and pasted them together to form a rather convincing argument, and if the argument was'nt completely bogus, I'd be all for it. 50% of what you quoted was not said (nor even included in the article) and the other 50% was taken completely out of context. I would like you to point out exactly where these words come from my mouth:

I am all for file-sharing and I don't give a damn about piracy," Jim Fanale chimes in

Or i could just save you some time and explain to you that they don't…. you're welcome.

I am all for talking with you on this issue, and clearing up wherever it is you went wrong. Actually, we are from around the DC area, so it would be quite easy.

Bottom line, we don't know you, you don't know us, if people are interested in how local musicians feel on this issue, they are free to contact us personally, or read the interview, which our friend patrick here took it upon himself to butcher.
