Meanwhile, as noted above, musicians miss out on publicity and creativity is stifled. No copyright enforcement and overly-zealous, greedy triple-dipping copyright enforcement both appear to hurt artists and innovation.

It’s time artists created a new set of PRO’s for their music and films, organizations that actually benefit them and which are reasonable.

I’m sure Myspace is going to be the next big one in line…

What is really sad is that I’m sure no songwriter will see any of that money…

I am sure a lot of other forgotten artists would like to be rolled.
