Piracy is Brilliant

Corbett | July 2, 2008 12:22 AM

Joss Stone sure knows how to piss off her record company, EMI, and I so totally agree with her. Besides saying "piracy is brilliant" (which will probably be her quote for years to come) she also nailed the sentiment of many performing artists with this great one liner, "The only part about music that I dislike is the business that is attached to it."

I remember also saying something (one of many dumb things I've said in my life as an artist) that pissed EMI off many years ago when I was signed to them in Taiwan. Some reporter asked me what I would do to improve the quality of Mandarin pop music, and I said something to the effect of, "Well, I'd first line up all the producers and have them shot." Woops.

Check out what else Joss Stone said here.

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
