The RIAA and record companies are such hypocrites. When I was a kid we copied albums on tape. They manufactured the tapes I believe, so they were complict in the action. Now they’re worried about file sharing and illegal downloading because they can’t get their cut.
And you think the artist that wrote the music, and the artists that play the music, and the company that produced the music and marketed the music and packaged it for sale, should NOT get "their cut" of the money from the music?
