Sir Paul McCartney does not see a problem with illegal music downloading.
Sir Paul McCartney has said he does not see the problem with illegal downloading - although he finds the culture surrounding it "weird".
The former Beatle was speaking at the launch event for the new album from his Fireman project, Electric Arguments, when he discussed the issue.
He told reporters: "We've come through vinyl, tapes and CDs - it's all the same, except people don't pay for it [now]. I don't mind. It works out."
In addition, Sir Paul revealed he does not illegally download music himself but claimed he was tempted to buy In Rainbows from Radiohead for one pence and pretend he had paid more.
Earlier this week, the L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican's official newspaper, revealed that the Catholic church has forgiven the Beatles for John Lennon's comments 42 years ago.
In 1966, the music legend said in an interview that the band was "more popular than Jesus" and predicted Christianity may not last as long as rock and roll.
