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.
