It’s NOT Artist rights...I have to agree with Frog. <br />It’s NOT Artist rights at stack- it’s the record companies who have ripped off customers for decades!<br />Music Artist should make their living by doing LIVE shows in front of an audience- recorded music should just be a marketing vehicle.<br /><br />BTW is not thief under the Crimes Act 1962, its copyright infringement- civil action, not criminal. Calling it theft is a red herring.<br /><br />IvanKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-65570476500109604182013-04-09T08:55:43.705+12:002013-04-09T08:55:43.705+12:00Not sure his examples stand.

It's a consistent approach. If he thinks that every cent it takes for a retail customer to buy a CD goes directly into his pocket as a musician, he's lying. He could easily call out a person who downloads pirated material for free, as theft, because no payment goes to anyone who created the product. But trying to defned corporate music industry profit is unsupportable in a download age.Frognoreply@blogger.com
