Musos blast US copyright bods: 'ARTISTS MAKE LOUSY SLAVES!'

Did she really get offended at your tweet? Did she really accuse you of bootlegging? I've been helping Michelle learn twitter for the last week or so and I've been searching out the mentions of her to see what is being said by her fans, so she can connect with them more. Twitter is new to her and she just learning how to reply and retweet her fans.

Could it just have been that she was responding to what she thought was a fan?

I do remember she offered to send someone a copy of an out of print version of Short, Sharp, Shocked (SSS) because someone mentioned they would burn it for a friend since the album is out of stock. However, I had been at Michelle's place the day before and we were going over what merchandise she still had since 2013 is the 25 year anniversary of SSS and we're working on a strategic plan.

Re: The Artist's themselves are kinda too blame...

I don't think that applies to Michelle Shocked. The Record company she was once on offered her a lot of money for her to give up her rights to the music she created. She choose to keep the rights to her music instead of taking the money they were offering her.

Michelle isn't hoping for anything from the record labels. She already fully independent from them.

Re: What is there to cherish

The "Occupy" reference refers to Michelle Shocked's involvement with the Occupy Movement (namely Occupy LA, Occupy Fights Foreclosures, and Strike Debt) beginning in October of 2011 when the movement began. She's been an active participant in the Occupy movement when she wasn't touring. She's drawing comparisons between the corruption the occupy movement fights to the corruption in the copyright and music world.
