Well they had the idea before anyone else, don't hate them for it. They buy the right to distrobute the song seeking end profit, the author dose get a cut (tho small) out of the sales as well.

I don't mean to sound like the RIAA's biggest fan because im not, I download alot of music without paying for it, most gets trashed in the end but the fact remains that I still do it. Unlike most tho I am fully aware of what may happen to me if caught downloading music illegally and accept it. This all gose back to my first post in this thread, again, do all the illegal stuff you want, just make sure you don't get your hand caught in the cookie jar when someone is looking ;)
