| Record Sales Are up By the way.... The radio used to play music without paying royalties, and when they started do you think musicians cared, do you think musicians themselves got any of that money? maybe 10 cents to the dollar.... if even.
What did the artists care about? That their music was being heard. That's always what musicians care about the most, that they are being heard.
That is why it is so easy for record labels to take advantage of them...
and digital music will never be controlled.
If you think about it, sharing files with someone is pretty much the same as giving them a mix tape...
so maybe people should be required to pay record labels royalties every time they make a mix.
I can tape off the radio... and the radio is free.
RECORD SALES ARE UP!
so WHO CARES that people can get music for free. They will always be able to anyways.
And, when someone says "download this artist"
I can, and I do. And I hear them, I like them, and I buy their cds.
Free mp3 trading is free advertising for record labels and musicians. |
