When you consider that everyone in the music and film business sooner or later rips off the artists anyways, that industry is in for a rude awakening. It used to be that musicians had to pay $50,000 and up for a good sound recording system, now you can do a pretty good job with $1000 worth of software and hardware. Some people do it with $100 worth of stuff, and love it.

When you get rid of all the middlemen in that industry, and the excessive profit margins, then the artists will get more. For a legal title to all the good tunes I have, I would consider paying $0.50 USD to each artist directly through a web site for each tune I have. At about 1000 tunes, that's not a bad take for the music industry if about 10 million people did the same. But I am not paying for some exec to get a jag because I don't have one, and I am the exec for a high-tech company. I work for a living.

Hollywood et al can blow it up their nose.
