Le Daily Mail a consacré un « article » à la prestation d’Amanda Palmer au dernier Glastonbury. Un article qui consistait en une critique plus mammaire que musicale, une photo et un jeu de mots.
Elle a décidé d’exercer son droit de réponse par une lettre ouverte chantée vendredi dernier sur la scène de la Roundhouse de Londres.
Le texte est dans la suite et la vidéo est pas vraiment safe pour le boulot.
« [i]The music industry is being taken over by the back door.. and if we don’t try and make it fair for new music producers and artists… then the art will suffer. Make no mistake. These are all the same old industry bods trying to get a stranglehold on the delivery system..
The numbers don’t even add up for spotify yet.. But it’s not about that.. It’s about establishing the model which will be extremely valuable. Meanwhile small labels and new artists can’t even keep their lights on. It’s just not right. Plus people are scared to speak up or not take part as they are told they will lose invaluable exposure if they don’t play ball.
If people had been listening to spotify instead of buying records in 1973… I doubt very much if [Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon] would have been made.. It would just be too expensive.[/i] »
