    The problem about copyright it's mostly, there are leechers that think the work of others belong to them.
    If I get this right, one of the Sony's seals is the one promoting the new "Slung lo" and Sony itself is a pro-copyright holder, which is that could make anyone angry cause such hypocrisy, moreover, they are always winning millions and when a person gets a song "illegaly" they threat him with extraodinary fines that costs even thounsands of times the real price. Moreover, when there is a similarity with any work or even coincides like names (search for that shameful "Twilight" movie and their suying crusade only for the name itself, ridiculous) they go after the persons no matter the diference, because for them there's no difference between "similar" and "same".

    That's one reason mostly of us hate the copyrights, how the big companies don't let the people progress with their lawyers and copyright issues. And when they infrignt copyright, they ignore their "ideals" and act like a total hypocrats. And even they are having secrets meetings and act like they are the rest of the world creating laws without the democratic process which we suppose follow.

    The problem now isn't only a group of artist and their work stolen, it's now how a group, a "mafia", it's trying to take the world literally, they want to control the internet, a place where everyone is free to do wathever wants. This is now a matter of freedoom and fight against and dictatorship.

    In this case, Erin has been ignored as the original creator of her song and they are using it to won millions and awards that recognize a good work, when she have not got any of this. That's unfair considering the dirty work that is being made to supposely protect persons like Erin, but at the end only benefits the industry and not the artist itself.

    As finals words, i know about a "musician" (no exaclty musician, has composed a lot of songs, but he is also a writter, artist and mainly a programmer) whose work has been remixed in different ways and a good amount of musicians have used their songs to make some profit, but not without recognize the original author. And even once i heard a remixed song of his on a commercial and doubt it was "made" given the credit to the remixers or even the author (and there is no racket, probably for being a almost unknow comercial). And even so this guy who i'm talking about has never complaint, and even encourages to use his work with no restrictions. That's a real artist and worker, and their fans always recognizes him as the original author. If only the rest of the artist where like him.
