I get what they're trying to do, but the fact of the matter is that it's one person. Alexis is talking about this as though it's going to revolutionize the music industry, when in fact it really won't. It will certainly help Lester Chambers, who almost certainly deserves some love, but to think that this will turn around an industry is absurd. It just seems to me that they're putting this profound label of "beating the music industry" because that's what's popular right now, and will generate more buzz. If you want to support the guy, by all means go ahead, but don't think that you're changing anything about the way the music industry works, you're just supporting the artist.

Is that not an adequate reason for this? Humans need to see human faces, not just abstract arguments. This isn't going to win the fight overnight, but it's more than just helping a guy and probably one of the more effective ways of fighting the fight for public opinion that you could come up with.
