This is all very well but porn has aways been the easiest thing to sell  on 
the internet hasn't it?

The established music business is nervous  about the whole digital thing, not 
just this starlet, but this kind of thing  has been going on for ages. The 
internet is just a means of distribution that  the music companies didn't get 
control of on the ground floor. 
 
Apple must be rubbing their collective hands...somehow, if someone  records a 
song and gets it on iTunes, it's seen as them "doing it for  themselves and 
playing the industry at its own game". Meanwhile Apple rake in  the profits 
whilst not actually having done anything. 
 
Furthermore a producer like Li'l Jon doesn't come cheap. There's big  money 
at play here and, whether or not the music business loses out, big  business is 
still the beneficiary at the expense of the humble music  buyer.

well yeah the way she went about things is a bit different then some dudes  
getting together in their garage and spitting something out. 
 of course the established music industry has been worried for some  time, 
but this is an exact instance that they really didn't want to see happen-  now 
her song has passed justin timberlakes and could pass fergies to go #1. 
Yeah Apple does win in the end- this technically would be a DIY but not a  
total DIY- 
The point of it all (bringing it up) was that it could start a trend in  that 
realm, not nec about how much $$$ is spent on production and/or apple  
winning in the end..
