Music Industry Execs Hoarding Pirate Gold?
"Artist managers and lawyers have been wondering for months when their artists will see money from the copyright settlements and how it will be accounted for," said lawyer John Branca, who has represented Korn, Don Henley, and The Rolling Stones, among others.
"Some of them are even talking about filing lawsuits if they don't get paid soon."
It would be an incredibly ironic end to the music industry vs. piracy if record labels and/or the RIAA became the targets for law suits brought on by the talent they represent.

Did anyone really think organizations like the RIAA give a crap about the Artist the represent ? No they are Money collectors for studios a record labels. Money to line their own pockets. Why do you think they fight so viciously. |

So true man...Honestly, musicians would make more money if they just followed along the lines of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was indeed them was it?...Forgot which group it was that popped up their album on their site and sold it based on whatever price you wanted to pay. Obviously people will still pirate. But if these well known groups let their contracts expire, used their aqcuired funds to just set up recording sessions and sell their own music via the net, they'd make a killing imo. This is just my opinion though, not sure how much they get from the record companies, but considering all the profit would go directly to them, I believe they'd make a lot more. |
