There are any number of talented musicians on here who have never made a single penny from record companies. Nobody except established million-selling artists see any recording royalties.
As it happens I either did buy or would never have bought most of the stuff on those CDs anyway.
And Hamster's right. I learned about, bought CDs, DVDs and gig tickets from bands I otherwise would never have heard of because people shared music.
To me MP3s are like radio, and I don't pay for that either.
Home taping didn't kill music. It just made it better.
