Madonna Louise Veronca Ciccone left home at the age of twenty to pursue her dreams of fame Her early days in the entertainment industry were tough However, her determination eventually brought her mainstream pop success with the hit “Holiday” in 1984 Along with performing as a singer, Madonna has expanded her talents in different areas, such as acting and writing Over her career, she has released eighteen albums, including three collections of greatest hits Madonna has continued to work hard for her success, redefining her herself and her music with every album As Madonna says, “Every time I reached a new peak, I see a new one I want to climb.” Madonna is recognized as a strong businesswoman who likes to control all aspects of her career Throughout her climb to the top, Madonna has not been afraid of controversy She has strong opinions and is known as a woman who does not mince her words, no matter what the response In recent years, Madonna has used her outspoken manner to try to curb online piracy Albums by famous artists often show up on the Internet weeks before their official release date Of course, both the record industry and artists condemn this piracy of their work Madonna herself has not been immune to online piracy Mixes of the title track of her 2000 album, Music, appeared on several filesharing sites before the album was launched Then in 2003, Madonna was set to release her new album, American Life However, in an effort to prevent further piracy, Madonna and her record company decided to try a new approach Decoy MP3 tracks from American Life were uploaded on file-sharing sites These decoys were meant to discourage illegal downloading People downloading the files thought they were getting tracks from American Life for free However, when the files were played, all that people could hear was Madonna swearing Instead of a song, listeners heard the artist shouting, “What the **** you think you are doing?” This strong approach of Madonna’s definitely made a statement It also provoked an immediate response Soon after the decoy tracks were discovered, hackers retaliated by hijacking the madonna.com website They used the website to distribute free MP3 copies of her new album Perhaps this artist’s plan did not work quite as expected However, as Madonna knows well, controversy draws attention to her material Whether or not such
