    Apologies for the typo, I meant really.

    As to my understanding TS made so much money cause she couldn’t get her masters and so re-recorded them herself and her fans bought them. Essentially taking the lions share which would normally go to the record companies. I don’t see how that is a bad thing, but I’m open to learning how it could be.

    You could argue she enables high ticket prices for concerts or whatever but again the artist is as beholden to TicketMaster and RockNation as the fans are.

    I don’t know much about her charitable work, but I think if you’re a billionaire you could always do more, that said aside from giving it all away at once it’s pretty hard to lose money once you’re that rich.

    She can certainly do more to be eco-conscious though.

    I actually sound like I’m into her, which I’m really not. Just wanted a discussion.

      Personally I think of she did something to deal with the absurd amounts of eco problems caused by her concerts and general mass flights she wouldn’t really have any issues, at least that I’m aware of. As far as billionaires go, not bad.

      One hell of an environmental impact though.

        To play devils advocate, if she needs to go somewhere for a concert, it’s not like she can just go to a normal airport like the rest of us. It would turn into an absolute frenzy and everyone would miss their flights.

          Nobody doesn’t get that. To me, the point is she’d have to have a slower, smaller tour and apparently she wouldn’t accept that.

          There’s no “needs to go somewhere”.

            That doesn’t really solve the issue of literally millions of people wanting to see her perform. If she doesn’t go to them they will come to her, which obviously is not good for the environment either.

          If a person takes two aircraft to a destination that’s excessive. That’s “fuck this planet and everyone on it, I’ve got mine and I’m fine” excessive

      She could set her own prices for tickets on her personal site and tell ticket master to eat it.

        Not really.

        TicketMaster have a monopoly and with rocknation they control the venues too, so artists really have no choice otherwise they would be performing in local bars rather than arenas.

        Cant remember which channels now but many people have covered this issue on YouTube and other places where you can learn more.
