They have the #1 album in the country because they are actually quite talented. I understand what you are saying, but this move has hurt them much, much more than it has helped them. If they kept their mouths shut, they would have sold more records and they touring would be sold out. They are about to go on tour and they have cancelled a show already because of low ticket sales.
I am sorry, I don't see how it this is a winning strategy. Yes, they are doing well. Yes, they are making money but they could have made A LOT more money by keeping quiet. If you think this has helped them more than hurt them, you are mistaken. But they want to make a point with their message. Yes, they will stay rich...but they are taking hits 'cause of it and they are losing money cause of it.
