i know this is going to cause a stir but I totally agree with Coldy.
Stop being cheap, if you like something then fork up the $$ and buy it.
As someone whos worked in the industry (music) I know that the musos get VERY little of the cash as it is after everyone has taken there cut.
By taking the music for free you make that cut even smaller.
if you dont believe me think of this:
- manager = 20% gross
- agent = 10% gross
- record co = varys between 30 and 80% of whats left after the above take there cut.
- tax = depends on where you live and what you earn.
+ heaps of others...
see what Im getting at..??
