It is true anyways, the internet was a great opportunity for the music industry to do bigger business, and even now I'm so sure that they're handling it right. She’s one smart cookie.

I think it's also a bunch of crap, how overpriced music is now. I'm not paying 18 dollars for a 12 song album of which I will only listen to 1 song. I do however do my best to support the musicians I love however I can. She’s got a point.

She didn't say she wanted more money. She was defending ALL artists, including those less successful than she is. I don't understand all of the hostility towards her on this site. If you don't like her music, don't listen to it. But the fact of the matter is that she has one of the longest vocal ranges in the history of popular music. It's just a fact.

Record companies are usually only a part of much larger entertainment conglomerates. Within the last 10 to 15 years, several of these conglomerates have merged or changed ownership and these ventures have not always worked out to the advantage of record companies. In order for record executives to keep their jobs, they had to optimize the revenue drivers they understood the best, talent and marketing. For many of them, technology was perhaps the most useful in streamlining music production and reducing costs. With the introduction of the compact disc (CD); record companies were able to reap more profits from their vast libraries of master recordings without incurring significant costs. It was much easier for them to get their heads around this concept because this was something tangible they could control; whereas, the Internet is more complicated. Truthfully, unless you're actively involved in developing digital technologies or establishing standards for their usage, the record companies are racing to keep with these innovations just like the rest of us.

She is obviously a shrewd business woman, you aren't worth as much as she is by being an idiot that only cares for butterflies and glitter lol.

I have all sorts of classical, from Chinese to stuff I never would have heard of otherwise. Plus Disney stuff, the old stuff and I am NOT going to order a special copy of the soundtrack of a specific movie. Plus movies, to hell with paying that much for a movie. The only way Im' going to buy a movie is if I like it enough and won't be bored within days of having bought it. Again, if not for downloading I wouldn't have been able to enjoy a ton of stuff I otherwise would never have known about. If they shoved less filth at me, I wouldn't be downloading as much.
