This is a really sticky issue.On one hand, people create music to share with others,and if they're good enough,they like to get paid for it. But if they are good enough that means they are getting tons of free exposure on the internet.I don't think the record companies have put that together yet,but if they have,it has saved them advertising dollars.

But then again,society and technology are changing as part of the natural evolution of things.If you write good songs and have some talent,you can make a living. Do I listen when musician's whine about not receiving royalties? I used to but I don't anymore.Just like I don't give a shit if 10,000 people are layed off from General Motors or Walmart. I do hope that the internet evolves to the point where the only music on it is the best of the best,but I don't think that will happen.
