Just because it comes off the Internet doesn't mean it should be free. Sure, these guys are all millionaires and won't have to work for the rest of their lives, but this is how they choose to make a living. Yeah, the music industry is lecherous and sleazy, saying it's Maiden's fault or the fault of any band is ignorant. It's the industry. It's the opportunistic always-hungry industry.

Sadly enough, it will work, as the kids nowadays are an easy prey for these monsters. I will attend to gigs and get the albums for my collection. And hope someday someone comes to their senses in this music industry of nowadays and starts making real heavy metal, the way Maiden did in 1979, with no money in mind. to close this comment I want to add that the same thing is happening with Metallica. so sad to see these folks trying to retire with a billion in the pocket, instead that a clear conscience like the pistols did. Up the Irons! (down the corporate greedy bastards!)

It's not a free download. Its a sampler. I'd be surprised if any older Maiden fans hadn't already bought the whole collection and younger fans hadn't torrented it. Its lip service to generate publicity...oh...it has.... True. It’s not a free download. Its a sampler.
