ABBA
Former ABBA star Bjorn Ulvaeus has hit out at music fans who download tracks illegally from the internet - branding them "lazy and mean".
The musician is baffled by people who use unofficial websites to collect songs for free, insisting the practice is extremely damaging for both artists and the music industry.
He writes on Swedish website Newsmill, "It is easier and cheaper to steal than to download legally. (These sites offer people) the 'freedom' to be lazy and mean.
"Is it so f**king hard to understand? Is it really so damn difficult to pay your way?" I guess when you have ABBA’s cash then no, it isn’t difficult to pay your way.
