Music publishers: iTunes not paying fair share

It seems like everyone I know "shares" music, except me. If you actually meet the writers themselves and see how much of their heart and soul they put into each and every song, you might have the same view as me. Unfortunately, not everyone can meet song writers and artists and witness what an actual talent it is to write and perform music. So when you "share" their music without paying for it, you are truly stealing something the worked very hard to produce.

I saw this article about how writers, producers and publishers are wanting to one day collect a performance fee from Apple.

  1. It's true, every time anyone shares a file it is stealing from the artist. selling their product is how they are making money, thats something we must think about.
