I was also surprised by the similarity of the beginning of her speech and Albini's article. But coming from Albini, one could suspect an anti-major bias, whereas Courtney Love -- it seems -- fully embraced her major label status. I think what Albini saw happen to friends of his, she saw happen to herself; and the same observation coming from two very different points of views makes it even stronger.
From this, she goes further and makes some very interesting points. I actually like her attitude when she says that since she did not get any money from her company, she might as well bypass it entirely.
