She may want that, but unless she's got *extremely* unusual clauses on her contract(s) with her record label(s), then she's hardly in any position to enforce that even if she wished it. She gets her royalties, but the ownership of the material ultimately remains with the record company(ies) she's worked with throughout her career. I can't imagine *any* record label would've agreed to such clauses, no matter who the artist is.

But then, here we are. So I honestly have no idea what's going on. It simply doesn't make sense to take away what is essentially passive advertising. Keeping a promotional site running--and this is what an "official" artist's site is--especially when content no longer gets updates--can't cost very much.
