By handing out burned copies of Alizée's CDs, Neiteio is publicizing her. Had this not happened, well, nothing would happen. But now, there are plenty of people who might support Alizée, who otherwise wouldn't have.

Unauthorized copies of intellectual property are usually the wrong thing to do, but at the same time they can be very right. I don't think that anything Neiteio does can Alizée in any way.

To confirm Mr. Boutonnat's point of Alizée's approval/surprisal and odd disapproval and different reception...

"She also commented that piracy in music has two sides "one good" and "one bad" saying that sometimes it's good because her music reaches places that she never thought to reach"
