I don't say much but this is something I deal with every day. I am a musician, songwriter and engineer. I have songs published, recorded and on the air. I don't like the "theft " part of file sharing at all ..........BUT!!!! CD sales go up with the popularity of file sharing. File sharing is the single best way for independant artists to get heard. Most bands don't make much from the sale of the CD anyway. Usually the record company makes sure the band owes THEM money. It is a tool to get people out to the gigs when they tour. Record companies make money on CDs. Musicians make money on the road or in the studio. Songwriters / Publishers make money on airplay. If I hear an mp3 I like.....I buy the CD. I think a lot of people do. No matter what you do to an MP3 it is still only 1/10th of the digital information that the origional wave had.
