That is called the free market. People make choices about how the wish to spend their earnings. If the public quit buying music, the earnings of musicians would come down, period. I don't begrudge the financial success of a musician, athlete, entertainer, etc. If one wished to make that kind of money, one should get off his/her butt, learn, train, and practice.
I was aiming more at who decides the % they get and cost of the product not the musicans themselves.
1204. Criminal offenses and penalties5
(a) In General. — Any person who violates section 1201 or 1202 willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain —
(1) shall be fined not more than $500,000 or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both, for the first offense; and
(2) shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both, for any subsequent offense.
Either way laws are laws and i follow them. I just disagree with them.
Although iv been told by an outside source that the ISP's in my area dont monitor this type of thing as of now. Theres 3 Universities in the small town i live in so i dont know how well that would go over for the ISP's if they were forced to turn these people in. Considering the college kids make up a large part of there business, and we all know college kids dont pirate :)
You changed your tune!
oh I forgot your part of "the team".
We are not on about walking in stores and stealing though are we? We are on about COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT which unless done commercially falls under civil law not criminal law therefore can not be classed as theft(by UK law). Don't you get it?
Have you never recorded nothing no? If you have does that make you a thief?
Just because I don't agree with the cooperation side of it doesn't make me a thief does it?
Also, when you say you is it me you refer to or?
