Blowback from In-tune Australia Video

MIPI recently launched a video (called In-Tune Australia) featuring a whole bunch of Australian musicians talking about how it's not a rock-star life. Of course, it's nothing less than a more mannered anti-piracy/anti-download campaign, funded by the record industry.

Now, one of the musicians in the video has squealed. Lindsay McDougall from Frenzal Rhomb claims he was never told about the motives for the video, and would never have taken part if he knew:

He said he was told the 10-minute film, which is being distributed for free to all high schools in Australia, was about trying to survive as an Australian musician and no one mentioned the video would be used as part of an anti-piracy campaign.
