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.

The "little" artists are also the ones who stand to gain the most from their stuff being "stolen". A larger audience is the best kind of springboard to make it big. And then be signed by a major label who loan you £2million which your music never makes back thanks to magical accounting practices so you are always paying off that debt.

Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked (Discuss but do not post detail of how to get round it)

Mmmmmm.

So the 'little artists' gain by people taking their stuff without paying for it, telling others how good it is, and giving them free copies - I am unsure how the 'little artists' actually gain from these, for lack of a better word, transactions.

Are they to hope that eventually someone will pay (and why should someone pay, if they can get it for free?).....

How do the "little artists" raise the money for the recording studio costs, the production costs, and the up-front money required for touring? How do the "little artists" turn into the "artists who have made it and in turn get better record deals"? For instance, Ed Sheeran only started making money after he signed to Asylum/Atlantic Records.....
