An artist/musician has no weekly wage and relies on selling his work.Why shouldn't he get the copyright on his product.It's the same as an inventor having a patent on a machine/gadget getting his his dues when his patent is used by others..Why should anyone work on producing anything if they aren't to get paid for having written,composed,painted.invented it.
I can't help thinking that those who want to download what they want for nothing are not actually creative themselves.

Maggy I am dissapointed you completely ignored my post in reply and you just kept repeating the same again.
I will say it again and hope you read it this time, for the struggling small artist their main problem is the publisher who takes the vast majority of profits as well as putting the artist in debt at startup. Piracy is all too conveniant to cover this little fact up. The artists who have made it and in turn get better record deals are not struggling.
