Everything we are doing is on the cutting edge of so many different industries and so many different interests. We’re out there in the sunshine, and it feels fine.

There are some very real areas where working together is critical, whether it’s talking about public policy issues, enforcement, or how to work together to facilitate new business opportunities. The RIAA has gotten much more involved in that.

For music, unlike a $500 software program, people are paying a buck or two a song, and it’s those dollars and pennies that have to add up to pay for not just the cost of that song, but the investment in the next song.

Napster is essentially using the music to make money for themselves and that’s the part that’s both morally and legally wrong. That I think is more relevant than whether or not I’m losing money.

There’s something much more fundamental about Mitt Romney. He seems so old-fashioned when it comes to women, and I think that comes across, and I think that that’s going to hurt him over the long term. He just doesn’t really see us as equal.

There is no sense in owning the copyright unless you are going to use it. I don’t think anyone wants to hold all of this stuff in a vault and not let anybody have it. It’s only worth something once it’s popular.

A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it’s disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.

The enforcement is the flip side to the growth. And that’s OK.

This is a business built on promotion. We’ve been giving music away to radio stations for 30 years.

Music has an intrinsic value that touches Americans – they love their music, and want more.
