Morrissey not impressed with downloading

Morrissey has told an Italian magazine he has never downloaded music online, arguing that music should require effort to obtain.

Asked by an Italian magazine about music downloading, Morrissey has admitted he has never accessed music online, expressing concern that the process of acquiring music is just getting too damn easy.

Morrissey: "I've never downloaded any song from the Internet. I was offered an iPod, I didn't even succeed in opening the box. I find it sad. Music deserves efforts. How can you love a record that arrives so easily? When I was a child, access the music I loved was difficult. It was not on radio nor TV. Even if music was my only love, it was a permanent fight to get it into my arms."
