Seriously, how much money do you think an artist gets? Here's an interesting concept: http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2011/09/how-much-does-a-band-earn-from-each-music-platform-uniform-notion-shares-the-numbers.html
It would be interesting to see the RIAA go after .ly sites. Or .ir. Actually, maybe not. After all, we don't need another reason for people to go at war with us. I'd hate to see history books say that WW3 started because the RIAA sent a take-down notice for Beyonce's newest song being hosted on an .ir web site.
Is it possible that the only answer to this entire stupid fiasco is to host web sites in a foreign country where the RIAA can't touch it?
Is this what it comes down to? Moving artists out of the US so they can do what they want, with their OWN stuff? Oh wait, that's right, they sign contracts, which pretty much gives artists no rights to their own music. Doh. How could I forget that? OH, I know how. I keep thinking artists are who we "give" money to when we buy their music.. right.. Right? Doh.
I remember watching a 60 minutes special where they showed a company that purposefully puts out trash version of movies like "Finding Nemo". Whose to say they aren't the ones doing the infecting?
Just saying.

They are the ones who put it there, imo.
