OK, there oughta be a law.
One of the great things about the world of digital download is that an
old tune pops into my head, and I can go to the iTunes music store (or
whatever) and grab it up legally for 99 cents.
However, sometimes in my haste of the impulse purchase, I'll buy a track
and find that it's been RE-RECORDED by the artist. I can only surmise
that their original contract left them with little or no royalties, and
this is a way to milk some cash from the system.
So, maybe there oughta be a law to protect artists against getting
ripped off, and in turn protect the fans from these lame counterfeit tracks.
OK..I feel better now.
Marty
