Montt Mardié: We're All The Pirate Bay

Swedish singer-songwriter Montt Mardié goes the other way. He embraces The Pirate Bay, the worlds largest file-sharing site, writing a song called We're All The Pirate Bay and offering it as a free download.

It was made really fast and in a very light-hearted spirit” but has nevertheless galvanised the heavy weight power of the file sharing world into reaction, making this their 'Pirate Bay anthem' and clocking up over 140,000 YouTube hits and over 50 remixes in only four days.

He welcomes remixes and wants to share them: "re-mix, re-make, re-seed, re-edit and re-enjoy”.

Words about music (201): Ozzy Osbourne

I don't consider myself a great singer -- but I have a connection with the audience. There's the artist, and then a void and the audience; but I like to be part of the audience. I'd like to be them, and I'd like them to be me for an hour and a half. I get criticized for being the antichrist, causing kids to commit suicide, but that's total bullshit. My intentions are not that. Every year they have Halloween, and all I do is take Halloween night out on the road every night. It's like a Halloween party every night. If that was the case on Halloween night, the police cells would be full -- everyone would have turned Satanic for the night!
