Prince – interesting because they had a major falling out – Slave on the side of his face for years. He refused to work and they refused to release him, now has a new label but not a star anymore
Why is this happening – illiegal downloads napstar, Limewire etc Responses – iTunes, law suits, digital releases, more concerts, some bands don’t care and have offered their music for free – make money thru concerts and special events
