Simon Indelicate attacks FAC statement

Simon Indelicate has hit out a the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) following the group's recent statement on illicit filesharing.

Members of the the FAC had seemingly expressed their support for fans who download music illegally but later backed plans to throttle their broadband connections after three warning letters.

In a post on his Lying To The Kids blog, the singer said: "Taste that? In the back of your mouth? Yeah, that'll be the little bit of vomit that it's impossible to keep down when you speculate about the gall of a bunch of no-account indie pr*cks (and one or two of my favourite singers, grown tragically anachronistic) supporting a 'three strikes' law against filesharing.

"That anyone, anywhere could think it even slightly acceptable to remove from seven million people the right to participate in one of the most incandescently transformative, intelligence squaring technologies ever invented in order to briefly prop up a rotten, vacuous industry that is doomed anyway for basic economic reasons while continuing to funnel the money of recession-hit teenagers to Lily Allen - that anyone could support such a backward, ludicrous and neophobe idea is beyond me."

He added: "That people who call themselves artists can do so makes me want to drown them all in their own mucus and spend a decade inventing transhumanist consciousness-uploading just so as I can send them all to a special virtual hell.

"F**k the FAC, f**k you if you agree with them, and f**k the FAC again. There is a war coming. Pick a side."

The songwriter's Indelicates bandmate Julia recently also expressed her support for free downloading.
