Yup, I agree that sharing stuff is not very good after all. I don't mind sharing stuff per se, but then fans start complaining that it's not worth the money. And no wonder, because almost everything gets shared right away. And even with the TA versions of her releases, non-members can get them with help of existing members. The only way she could make TA exclusive would be free goods, which would make the fees way more expensive than they are now, if she wants to send them overseas. Or having a fanclub chat, where we could talk to her directly, but then a lot of fans will use it to complain about releases and be very rude to her.

Right now being a fanclub member is just like owning a copy of an album: not really necessary, because you can download everything online, but some people still like to buy them and it has certain little perks.
