Yeah, Jess, I read that article. Besides, it's much easier to get exposure from the Internet, and faster. The thing is, this hurts the smaller, local bands from getting money, although they would still get more exposure. I don't know where I stand on this, though, because I can truly say I have not downloaded anything illegally in my life. I see where the artists are coming from, though, when they want their money. They earned every last penny, and as you said - they don't see most of it. It's the record companies that are complaining. Still, the artists have a lot of money to begin with, but that's because they worked hard to get where they are, and they're still going strong. Like I said, I'm neutral on this.
