# Embracing File Sharing Lily Allen Puts Complete Free Album on Sharing Sites By Ayman | Published 2009-05-09 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lily-allen-free-album References: [lilyallenremixed](http://www.lilyallenremixed.com/) Kudos to Lily Allen and her record label for embracing the times and doing two smart things. First of all, they are offering a legal free download of ‘Remixed,’ a remix album of twelve songs. Secondly, they are offering the download on all the popular file sharing sites and clients. The label has set up a special site where you can download the album via Torrents, Demonoid, Rapidshare, zShare, Sharebee, or Megaupload. In these troubled financial times, the free download aspect is a great promotion for Allen’s latest album “It’s Not You, It’s Me.” Everyone loves free stuff, so there’s a bigger chance of gaining new fans by offering this freebie. That Allen is also embracing the file sharing sites is a great application of the adage “If you can’t beat them, join them!” You can download the songs or the whole album [here](http://www.lilyallenremixed.com/). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Free File Sharing:** Embrace and offer free download of remix albums through popular file sharing sites to promote new music and attract new fans. - **Legal Downloads:** Provide legal downloads for music albums through various file sharing sites to protect intellectual property rights while still accessing wider audiences. - **File Sharing Promotion:** Use file sharing sites as a way to effectively promote new music and increase exposure by offering legal free downloads of albums. ### Who This Affects Most - **Music Streaming:** Disrupt the music streaming industry by offering legal free downloads of new music albums through various file sharing sites, instead of traditional streaming services. - **Record Labels:** Record labels can take advantage of free file sharing sites to effectively promote new artists and music by offering legal free downloads of albums. - **Intellectual Property Rights Management:** Create innovative and disruptive solutions for managing intellectual property rights of music and media distributed through file sharing sites. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nostalgic Music Piracy Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limewire-1.md) - [Serverless File Sharing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filefling.md) - [Re-Imagined Music Sharing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jamselect.md) - [Secure Music Sharing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-sharing-with-security.md) - [Social Music Sharing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/favesfm.md) - [Returning Digital Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lmwr.md) - [Music-Focused NFT Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travis-barker.md) - [AI-Human Music Albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eleven-album.md) - [Music Download Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suno-ai-download.md)
