You just can’t make this stuff up.

On Lilly Allen’s new blog “It’s Not Alright” musicians such as Gary Barlow from Take That, the one with the silly hat from N-Dubz and ex-Robbie Williams songwriter Guy Chambers are queuing up to help in her campaign against illicit file-sharing.

The debut post on the blog includes a criticism of 50 Cent, who just a couple of weeks ago had the temerity to suggest that piracy and file-sharing are all part of marketing music.

However, aside from the critique of Fiddy, the rest of the blog post – put there by Lilly herself – is someone else’s work. Arrr mateys, Long John Allen lifted the entire post from another site – Techdirt.com – effectively pirating the work of the one and only Mike Masnick.

Note to musicians: If you aren’t singing, why don’t you just keep your mouths shut? The ability to play a guitar or hold a tune doesn’t qualify you to tell me who I should vote for, what products I should buy, or anything else not related to music, for that matter.
