Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell says that the band's audiences are becoming younger and younger, and it's all thanks to illegal file sharing, rather than parents introducing older music to their kids.
He told LiveDaily: "That's a by-product of music piracy more than anything else. I'm not saying that as a negative. I think it's very positive. A lot of younger kids get turned on to classic bands because they're trading files. They have 4,000 or 5,000 songs on their iPod, that's $4,000 or $5,000 on their iPod, at iTunes' prices, at least. A 12-year-old can't afford that. When kids trade files, it's actually a good thing for classic bands such as us. It's not such a good thing for up-and-coming artists who need to sell records".
