Yeah, you can also look at the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Phish, Tom Petty, Neil Young, and all the other musicians out there that let people record and trade music for free. They still make millions every year, because they create something that lasts, and they continue to work their ass off.


That's because they make their money by going on tour, selling tickets and t-shirts.... The Record Label makes money from the selling of RECORDS. So of course, the artist wouldn't mind letting people download and share their music, they make so little off of each album anyways.....if more people get their music, then maybe more will see them in concert.. that's where the money is at.

Look at the paradox.. if it weren't for the Record Label, they wouldn't be stars.... how many big stars made it by internet-only release with no backing by a major label??

Afro man doesn't count
