Do you want to know who are pushing for the anti-copy laws?
its the RIAA ( the recording industry associationof america or something like taht!) the RIAA hate Kaaza and Naspter because that takes awya money form them!

When you buy a CDm, the fees for the copyright usually don't go to the artist directly: its goes to a big collecting agency like the RIAA, then this collecting agency will split the money collected acoording to whom had some sucess on the billboard or other charts!

so that means that if you are a small band and you sell like 1000 cd, you will never see the money because you were not on the top 40. so Birtney Spears will get the money that should have belong to you bec ause she is more succesful!!!
( o.k. i'm overs-limplifying here but thats almost it!)
Recording industry can be crap for small artist!!!
