Singer-songwriter Janis Ian has a couple of excellent articles online: The Internet Debacle--An Alternative View and Fallout--a follow up to The Internet Debacle.

The Internet Debacle discusses her take on copyright and online file sharing (music sharing). She questions the music industry claims that music downloading is destroying the industry and cites examples from her experience and that of others.

In Fallout, she continues the discussion, talking about the feedback she's received, the effects making her own music available on the web has had on sales (positive) and she suggests some alternatives to the music industry to address the issues of copyright and music's availability.
