As much as this guy is a piece of shit that deserves to rot away forever, it’s still a failing of that prison to allow this to happen.

Would hate for him to die before he’s sisters a lifetime of prison. Don’t want him taking the easy way out.

I kind of wish that the rest of the band would hire a singer for a month or so to re-record the Lostprophet’s catalogue. I’d like to listen to some of their music again without him getting royalties.

Trouble is he still wrote it. He’d still get royalties.

Burn Burn remains one of my favourite songs of all time, but I’ve not been able to listen to it since this guy was first…outed. It sucks.

I’m no legal expert but I’m pretty sure he’d still get royalties from that. He must surely get a cut of any covers or whatever?

I think it will depend on if he wrote the song or not.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
