Other artists such as Marillion and Jill Sobule have asked fans fordirect financial support already, but Dayna Kurtz explains why in clearand precise detail in response to hate mail she got for doing so. Morespecifically, she points out that her latest record sold only 900copies but was illegally downloaded 50,000 from four pirate sites alone.
Not everyone realizes that such downloading is illegal. Those who docome up with all sorts of rationalizations. "A huge artist is alreadyrich so they don't need my money." "A new artist needs exposure tobuild an audience." These arguments fall apart for the glut of midlevelartists who have built a following but aren't getting rich and aren'teven making enough to front their own recording costs.
As Kurtz points out, "the only thing that causes me some degree ofregret about this venture is that i'dbet my bottom dollar that the the vast majority of people that donateare the sort of fans who already buy my music, legally andconscientiously."
