Ask Singer Janis Ian About the RIAA and Online Music

Posted by Roblimo on Tuesday September 3, 2002 @05:00AM from the fallout-from-the-internet-debacle dept.

Janis Ian has been a popular songwriter and performer since the 1960s, and has decided that Internet music downloads help her and many other recording artists. She wrote an article saying so, then wrote a followup piece, and now it's time for Janis to answer your questions about how the RIAA, the "major labels," and online filesharing affect artists like her. We'll send 10 of the highest moderated questions to Janis tomorrow and post her answers when we get them back. (Off-topic note: Alton Brown has not forgotten Slashdot. He had some show taping problems that messed up his schedule, and asks us to be patient, please.)

you gotta admit, this would be much more bold if it were a real legitimate recording superstar like Cher, Kylie, Pink, or Eminem.
