It's not really fair to judge her on that though, the music (and movie) business has always been first and foremost about money. That's just the way it is.

This is what she does for a living, how she earns her living. Whether one considers her overpaid isn't really the issue. Not many people do their jobs for free.

She also seems to be aware of the artists who are just starting out (like Buckingham Nicks was) and who do need the money. They might give up because they can't make a living off of people downloading their songs for free.
