- Folk legend Paul Brady was also highly critical of the lack of Government action in relation to illegal filesharing.
“If I hear anyone else in Government saying the arts will get us out of our present difficulties, I think I’ll scream,” Brady told Irish Communications Minister Eamon Ryan, on a panel at The Music Show, to applause from the audience.
“You seem to expect us artists to be cultural ambassadors and work for nothing. Three percent of people, in the last report, in this country think artists should be paid for their work,” Brady said. “I don’t know why we’re talking about three strikes. It is against the law. Why isn’t it one strike and you’re charged?”
