    I agree with this point. And to the person who has lost respect for KOL for having their song in a commercial, that's obviously up to you, but I think it's sad. It seems like your appreciation for them is based a bit too much on them being "low key" and somewhat "unknown," which seem like pretentious reasons to like a band. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I also don't see why you would like their music any less because it's in a commercial.

    If people didn't "steal" music, bands would be less likely to look to other sources of income.

    Exactly! Whilst I understand people being upset, things aren't how they used to be at all, even bands who are seemingly famous have to work hard to keep their heads above water.

    I remember Ed saying around the time of Roskilde that the only reason they decided to play a few festivals on that tour was so that they could actually make some money from the tour. Now if a big band like PJ is having trouble covering all the costs, imagine what it's like for a band of KOL's stature.

    I have no problem with licensing out songs
