Record label visits schools to combat piracy

This isn't such a bad thing... provided they don't preach the whole "Piracy will ruin your life, they'll get you" thing that was so popular a few years back.

Too bad it's not coming to my school, I'd give them a full lesson in intellectual property and economics.

I don't think the teacher would give you a chance; she would tell you to sit down and take your brainwa...er..um..lesson.

For the sake of realism, I assume the children are expected to sue their fellow classmates, teachers and of course the visiting labels if they don't pay to view the performance of their created music, yes?

Need I remind people that "stealing" is the act of 'removing from another'?

Do I also need to point out the blatant, well-known and brutally honest fact that artists don't make any money (very little I should say) from "Record Sales"? Money is made touring by charging $34.95 for a t-shirt and $49.95 for a sweatshirt. Artists know this so PISS OFF labels!

Here, Here!!!

I have written so many times of this fact my fingers are nubs!

I've worked in the industry (music & movie) & once you get your check at the end of the day, you've been paid, that's it. And the wage is not what you'd think it was. Artists go in thinking they're going to get respect and that simply isn't the case (not 1st timers). Desperation is a horrible thing. I suppose I'll have to write a whole blog on 'just' the music labels (at least what it 'was' like) and give folks a glimpse into reality.

Sure performing is great, but as to getting paid...? Here's a quick way of looking at it...

EVERYBODY loves art... Music, movies, photos, presentations of several calibers; until they have to pay for it.

....and then they asked the children "Where does your Mom and Pop get their music? Let me write that down, could you repeat that please."
