Kid Rock was on MuchMusic a few years ago (If I recall Joe C was still alive) on an Intimate and Interactive, and I remember the host asked him what he thought of all the filesharing going on. In short (and not verbatim) he basically said that "I don't care because I am now rich and it doesn't matter because the more people listen to me, the richer I'll get"
Well, a few short weeks later I saw an interview on CNN and he completely reversed his position... 180 degrees. I couldn't believe it.
It just goes to show you what a little discussion and threat (As I'm sure there are clauses in his contract that will allow his record label to bow out if he did anything to undermine them!) can do. It makes me sick.
