Not sure with Oprah, but Prince (or the symbol) has insisted that you-

He wanted to have control over his work again.

Hmm, I'm surprised he hasn't worked out a deal with Billboard to count
each view as an album sale somehow.

When I saw him in concert a few years ago he gave away his new album
(the only way I'd ever listen to it) to each attendee and had it
worked out with the charting company that each would indeed count as a
sale (he worked it so the price of the album was included in the
ticket purchase).

I'm surprised more artists whose sales aren't what they used to be,
but still pack 'em in, don't do this.
