					<description>I don't give a shiz, I'm gonna download whatever I want if I can.
Instead of trying to change something that never will, why doesn't your industry get their act together and find other ways to adapt to file sharing.</description>

					<description>Also I want to point out that.

 Any Artist that is trying to sell Art is a business entity and they have to compete for customers same as if you open up a store and sell clothes or donuts.

There are plenty of crappy up and coming artist out there that assume it is the downloading that is hurting them.

Along with the technology of downloading came the ease of Recording, Marketing and Distributing for pennies.

A bigger problem is the fact that everyone wants to be a super star artist and it is easier to get involved and more competition.</description>

					<description>I like Lilly and as an artist myself I see where she is coming from, the letter does cover the points well. To Major Labels it is stealing, To major Artists it is Promotion and to lesser know artists it creates an bigger obstacle to succeed. She is making herself vulnerable by jumping in to this hot topic without any real solutions herself although she is asking for ideas and for people to sit at a table and figure it out. Lilly is more of Stage and Studio Artist not much of entertainer on stage, although what makes these rappers any different. They just talk over beats the way I see it, that is why they have to be over the top and create interest around their persona.</description>

					<description>Imagine if contemporary artists in any other medium, aside from music, reacted this way to "their art" reaching the masses. For example, if you search Banksy on the internet you are inundated with examples of his work that are their on the web for you to see and enjoy. It makes his work more accesible and you would be more likely to purchase a print of his once you were familiar with his work. Why should musical artisits be treated differently? Why is it that the world needs to stop and cater to them? Perhaps the record companies just need to get up to speed...</description>

					<description>I pay for my music. Maybe I'm stupid. I just wish it didn't cost just as much for the mp3 album as it does for the damn CD.</description>

					<description>bitch, you have said that you spend excess amounts on money on stuff you don't need.  You have enough money, you need to spend it more wisely.  Why should poor people live life without any music to listen to??  You are cruel bitch.  I swear I will never buy any of your albums or go to any of your shows or buy any of your merch.  You can suck my left one you pig.  Go do another line of coke you fat princess.</description>
