Maybe the music industry is just adopting the attitude that people will steal music no matter what they do and they can never sue enough people or do enough legally to stop it so they might as well make a few bucks wherever they can and then just rob the artists more by taking away shares of of their live performance and merchandising income to make up for it.
A % of something is better than 100% of fuck all, as they say.

And of course, people will always steal music no matter what they do, they have PROVEN that suing people only increases piracy, so what to do?

Getting some money out of them is astounding when you think about it.

Just wondered if there is something to take away from it for our industry.
