i think this discussion is less about being "haters" (although i have no love for mobys music), and more about the moral obligations (if any) of artists/celebritys (which moby has quite obviously become). im also, i think like most people on this list, not pretending to give any answers. its just nice to talk about this stuff - its good to hear others views - especially when topics like this are never given any serious exposure in the mainstream media.
