Lemme see... give Shawn Carter $10-20 bucks a month, or use Spotify for free.

Give Shawn Carter money or don't listen to his music. Hmmm... I think I'll just not listen.

These performers are in a quandary to be sure. They like lots of money (who doesn't), free publicity, and the ability to control their work and pay. Just like the rest of us. Except we do not get free publicity, much less paid to get paid to receive publicity.

Sucks to be human, good to be capitalists.
