The last two paragraphs really highlight the twisted thinking common throughout the music industry. They aren't interested in stopping copyright infringement at all - they just want to own everything, and will abuse whatever laws are present to try and enforce that notion.

Maybe if her music was good enough for someone to know who she is she would have made some money. Guess she will be taking my order at the nearest McDonalds.

Well her father has a few contacts, she had a myspace page, surprised she has got as far as she had. As said if she was really any good, there would not be a problem. Enjoy your 15 minutes and get back to reality.

Its a pity un-elected Peter Mandelson doesn't use his energies to sort out the thieving Bankers, who even now are squandering Taxpayers money by still giving themselves bonus's, and making staff redundant with the Governments funding, instead of picking on the small fry downloaders, who's only crime is to cut the profits of the millionaire Film & music industry moguls, who rip off the public in any case with their inflated prices, just shows what a slap up lunch with geffen can buy, with this snake in the grass.

Trying to make a living from a dead business model. Like trying to drink water from a strainer. In both cases, you'll whither away.
You have to give people a reason to like you. Going on a rant calling would-be fans thieves doesn't help. Time to re-think her career goals. We live in a time when people will find ways to sample music for free, and there are plenty of ways. If they don't like it, they won't invest in it.

My thoughts exactly. That might have something do with the whole "I can't seem to make money thing".
And she might want to look in to that contract that "she's not going to renew" to see where all her money went.

Too funny! You guys can fight over this sniveling little 8!+ch and the rest of us can watch the tug-of-war. I never heard of James Blunt either; but with a name like that, he must be one of those guys who smokes joints the size of a cigar.
