Re: (TV) OT: "Student Must Pay $675k For Songs"



Ummm....lawyers are tools for the industry and they do their job. I think
the big problem is in the record companies and , they dont want to recognize
that the big bussiness was gone, glory days have passed away.Sales profit
margin now are tiny and they want to continue driving their Rolls Royce. A
little risk with new bands, they use a lot of archive recordings of old
glories. We all know that records now are a card presentation for gigs.
