"I'll be honest you with man... I think the Internet is the greatest invention the world has ever seen. If a kid can't be at a Slipknot show, he could be with you intimately at home, regardless of where he is around the world. MP3's I think are fine, but it's very dangerous when certain people get a hold of an album before it is released and leak it out to the public. Then people download it and distribute it... You have to understand; if you're a musician, you learn how to, and I'm gonna quote something from Henry Rollins here: "You learn how to starve creatively". This is our livelihood, and MP3's can be very dangerous. I'm a great supporter of the Internet. Our Slipknot1.com page got over 230,000 [Actually over a million] hits last month, and it's a great way of reaching out."

Disturbed(www.disturbed1.com) also supports p2p and people downloading their music, as long as they support the band in some way(cd's merchandise concert tickets etc) I lost the article though..
