Right, but you know full well that the record companies are talking about having the "artist best interests" in mind.
I've said this in another thread and I'll say it here. the RIAA are nothing more than a middleman who try to profit from other people's work.If you had millions of pirates attacking your front door every day would you be nice with your message? No, you wouldn't. Sure they make their millions anyway..and they shouldn't make that much to begin with. But stealing is stealing. Everyone wants to point at the "theoretical money" with the comment of "OH if they didn't pirate it they wouldn't buy it anyway". Well, tell wal-mart that whenever you decide to go steal a $10 shirt. "Oh if I didn't steal it I wouldn't buy it so you didn't lose any money" Well yea, they did..it cost them money to make it.
I do believe the music industry needs to make some changes. Charge less (who wants to pay $1 per song? That's crazy) and not be so greedy. But stealing is stealing. If she didn't want to pay $5,000 up front then she needs to be shown how outrageous they can be. If she wants to make stupid choices, they have the right to give her a stupid response.
