2) Jeff Buckley was signed to Sony- just as Alexandra is. Simon Cowell will be profiting from this in some way
3) Its not the original, yet this was the reason why it was to be downloaded which says it all about people who pretend to be a big music fan and taking the moral high ground
4) Its more publicity for Alexandra- people being anti-Alexandra will make other people be sure to buy her single
5) It isn't a moral triumph for music or anything else like that which people are claiming

1. There is no alternative to XF getting off the top spot. It's already miles ahead of all the other tracks.

2. Simon Cowell's profits were not the reason the anti-XF campaigners started the campaign.

3. This was only the reason stated by some people. A lot of people are well aware that Leonard Cohen is the original artist, and there is a demand for his version also.

4. Again, it's more anti-XF than anti-Alexandra. She's a product of a TV show which has a lot of critics.

5. Who are these people you speak of?
