Because making music isn't hard work :D. The music industry sells this image! Musicians are people who only have sex and take hard drugs 24/7. Some, especially black musicians are the biggest criminal organization bosses. That it's usually the other way around, that musicians work hard while other people have parties, musicians are more likely philosophers than criminal organization bosses, is something that nobody will belief. If it's that easy I wonder why people who are tired of their averaged jobs, won't simply become musicians. No wait, I guess it's because musicians were born with super hero powers, super gifts. All musicians look beautiful and healthy, while taking hard drugs 24/7, they only need to avoid to get in contact with kryptonite. This piracy only effects some mainstream music. Yes, the other, the non-mainstream musicians have to suffer, but not regarding to piracy, but regarding to the less good times for concerts etc.. The "prime time" for concerts at interesting locations is for Till Brönner, David Garrett and other mainstream crap. And by the way, musicians such as those two are talented musicians, no doubts about that, but I've got doubts, that what they sell is music ;). So are you talking about the situation for the music industry or for the musicians from the neighborhood? And is there something else interesting regarding to copyright laws, than money? Is there any other topic instead of money? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
