The physical reproduction of a CD is only a very small amount of the price of the overall product- artists should "sit back and watch the income flow in??" do you know how ridiculously hard it is to firstly get notice, secondly sell your own music (that you have put time and money into in order to create and record!)? and you think we dont deserve to get paid for that time and effort? Im sure if you work for 8 hours on something then you would expect to be paid? Why should musicians be any different? of course people made money of music before it was able to be recorded- what do you think sheet music is?? and why do you think its called “copy”right because you are paying for the right to copy a piece- regardless of the format.

People seem to think it's a law of the universe that musicians should be able to record a few songs, sit back and watch the cash roll in. "oh, but musicians can't sell music any more because of downloading". Well, too bad. The technological innovation of records allowed musicians to distribute their music on a physical medium and charge money for it.

His mistake. But Don't tell people that music is only worth the cost of the disk. That's just wrong. The mentality that music isn't really worth anything and should be free because musicians are concert stars and rake in tons of dough paid by "someone else" is what people use to make it okay with themselves to get something for nothing. It's what makes musicians think they 'HAVE' to agree to give the music away for free even though it means they are basically PAYING to create something worthwhile for society. The majority of the music out there is by guys who get paid very little if anything at all, not by a couple of guys at the top of the chart with concert and merchandising deals. And even those who chart have fifty hands down their pants stealing them blind. We are talking a dollar download that pays a few pennies to the artist at best, then hundreds of thousands of "free" copies off that dollar download. For this a guy sweats blood and tears to produce music for people like YOU. I watch very talented artists struggle every day just to live. In a criminally-minded rip-off "market", the assignment of value to intellectual property loses all perspective, and you get a crappy and degraded, low-toned market where everybody thinks they can write, and in place of actual music these people begin to rely on increasingly degraded shock value and body parts to get attention - oops wait, that's what we have now. The great artists who inspire with heart and soul will eventually get fed up and pretty soon all you will have is a degraded playing field full of worthless left-overs. When a society loses its artists, it loses its ability to imagine the world and it loses its soul. Don't be one of the harbingers of the Dead Age. Dear Michael Arrogant,
