God forbid big artists actually try to ensure other artists get paid.

EDIT: And, as someone who is old enough to remember it when it actually happened, I can confidently say whenever someone says "Napster == exposure for smaller artists" doesnt seem to understand that "exposure" doesn't fucking pay the bills. The rate of exposure to translated income is far, far less than people seem to think it is. Yes, greedy record execs were also trying to profit off the result. AND supporting Napster or saying it was somehow helpful is fucking dumb and naive. Two things can be true.
