Singer underlines the importance of royalties

stickyfiddle, read the first line of my comment. rantboy, musicians SHOULD make music. in fact if they didn't they wouldn't really be musicians at all would they? my point is if you've earnt enough to live comfortably, money should not be your motivation. chasing that 7th million should take a back seat to letting people appreciate your art. can you not see the difference between an accomplished artist who makes good music because they can and all the lil'wayne money-orientated bullshit out there?

obviously royalties are important to a struggling artist living hand to mouth, but someone in beth orton's position who must have banked some serious figures by now should stop worrying about squeezing every penny out of every medium and sometimes stand back and appreciate the fact that their work is reaching fans in a much better way than 10 years ago when we were all stuck with bloody capital fm and about 2 other options. if i was an artist i'd be happy for people to have access to my music in this sort of way, its about the art first and money a far distant 4th or 5th
