Everyone who worked on the album gets paid then they get a pittance. The artists as a general rule, if they're gigging, would prefer their music to be pirated because of the larger audience it'll generate when they go on tour. Where they make the killing:) Thing is though, unless the artist is independent or unsigned, they don’t actually get that much money from record sales.

We're going back to the older days, days you might not have seen but believe me you havent LIVED until you hovered over your ghetto blaster priming your fingers over the REC and PLAY button (why was it SO hard to press them both at the same time?). Or your only source of annoyance was that the DJ as he talked over the intro or ending of Mark McCabes Maniac, thus ruining your new mix tape. It will be interesting to see the fall out from this. Technology certainly has a way of stayin well ahead of the obstacles that are laid by the likes of Eircom et al. Very true tommy!
