How much money do think these suits have taken from the real artists? I gave up going to the cinema, and buying records when the cost rocketed and the quality went down.

A recording artist may be lucky enough to get perhaps 7 or 8 pence from a 99p download.

Now if that artist was allowed to sell at a reasonable price (cost + a profit margin) they would sell orders of magnitude more copies. But they're not allowed to - the industries get in the way. The internet WILL be the salvation of the artists - once the parasitic suits have been left by the wayside. So the suits are, like, really really bad man.

We live in age of industrial luddites just trying to save their antiquated ways of making a living.
