"And if they’re willing to donate to it, chances are they’re willing to give to artists too. " Yes, this very well may be true. Most down loaders would prob. give artists money! But that is NOT what the label wants! No WAY! Because? The Label want your money! Once they get it, they can put the Artist in a limo with a full bar and a chump change check and drive 'em off into the hollywood sunset. “Wake up, record labels.”

They are awake.
