The singer who is becoming one of the biggest selling artists of the year said, “Well, I mean, it can go two ways – there are pros and cons to everything, Some people think it creates illegal access, but I think the big wheel is round, y’know? I think it’s got more positives because it basically gives people access, what’s the harm in that?”
