Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknold: 'Music has no inherent value'

Fleet Foxes's frontman Robin Pecknold has once again voiced his support for illegal downloading - and argued that music "has no inherent value".
The singer told the Sunday Times that file-sharing was crucial to the success of his band's 2008 self-titled debut album - and he continues to support such activity as the band prepare to release follow-up 'Helplessness Blues' later this year.
"How much money does one person need before it's just a number and I can buy whatever I want - and just be like a big baby?" he commented.
Pecknold has previously told BBC News that illegal downloading allows today's musicians to hear a wider range of music than previous generations.
"That will only make music richer as a platform," he said. "That [downloading] was how I discovered almost everything when I was a teenager - my dad brought home a modem."
Meanwhile, Pecknold has told NME that 'Helplessness Blues' was inspired by the nicotine patches he wore during recording sessions.
