vilket ar en skivindustri som hon menar agerar mot saval musikernas som konsumenternas intresse. Som en del av sitt motstand mot RIAA har hon latit flera av sina sanger bli fritt tillgangliga for nedladdning pa hennes hemsida.

Hon var inte bara en av de forsta artisterna att gora detta, utan ocksa en av de forsta som visade att fria nedladdningar faktiskt kan oka forsaljningen av skivor.
