Live Milk
Remember the real winners of Live Aid? Of course you do. They’re the artists who appeared at Live Aid and revitalised, or in some cases launched their careers. Take U2 for example, who until Live Aid were absolutely nothing on the radar.
So isn’t it great that eBay has stopped listing the tickets to the London Live 8 concert, having bowed to the pressure of Bob Geldof who called the service an ‘electronic pimp’ for allowing ‘sick profiteering’ users to sell tickets to the free concert?
No doubt we can expect similar responses from the artists and record companies of those involved in the Live Aid concerts when their sales increase due to the free exposure? Or perhaps not.
