    Haha oops I didn't notice that the article was linked to PC World! I too am surprised they'd publish that.

    Actually, I think the person that needs to be sacked is the one from theinquirer.net, the title is really misleading. :D

    True. There's also a fact that only some people know about music CDs.I read that on the website of a metal show producer in Quebec city. The artists aren't making money on CDs, except if they sell 200k+ copies. It is false that piracy hurts the artits, it hurts the greedy publishers.

    What is the gain split between the artist and the publisher?
