Get what I mean?
Believe it or not copyright law try's to extend that far. |
Contrary to popular belief, artists don't need labels and record companies to continue to make their music. If they could do it in the first place, then they have the ability to keep doing it most likely. And usually it just gets easier. Even WITHOUT a label.
One of my best friends runs an independent underground non-profit label and the bands he works with have no problem touring the world and getting by even with their music available for free to anyone that wants it online and no major record company corrupting the government to protect their products.
Music is an art. Support the artists, not the corporations. When I download music I look at it as punishment to the artist for selling out. But I still like them so I'll listen to them.
