It's somewhat gratifying that a previously obscure woman who is suddenly thrown into the public spotlight because of a sex scandal can make money doing something other than pornography.
Perhaps he needs to start wearing a skirt (um, I mean a kilt) and being a f'ing idiot (um, I mean indiscreet) when getting out of the car? Or does that only work for women?
The thing that is most interesting to me is how much cash she's made selling her songs online and how completely unextrordinary this seems to the media reporting the incident. 5-10 years ago, there would have needed to be a paragraph of exposition about getting music online. Now it's just background to the story.
We are living in the world of the future and we don't even notice it.
I think it's going to be interesting to find out if "fame" in this manner can result in more extended fame. Is she a good singer or not? Will she get a record deal, or just take the obligatory Playboy/Penthouse spread for $1M?
I did read (maybe in the above linked article) that she already made $200k from her two singles, downloaded 300k times with her getting $0.70/pop. That's pretty amazing cash for a first time artist, and an amazing living for most people. Don't know if it'll last, but if she's smart, she'll stow some of it away until she finds a more. . . legal . . career.
