Way back in the days poeple sang songs and played musical instuments to entertain, in return they would receive a gratuity from the listeners or they would be payed for a live performance in a bar or club and some would even play because they LOVED to entertain. Technical advances allowed the ability to record the music onto an object(record, tape, cd) and the record industry was born, since then it has grown into a money hungry monster. I beleive the music should be free and each artist have a donation website, I would donate before I'll ever buy another CD. Also, good artists can make lots of money in concerts, and selling there songs to movies and Tv shows.
