RE: It's stealing but not from the artists...

"Sophie Milman has sales of individual albums sell over 100,000 copies which is a lot.

She's barely making it - someone must be?

Audio Equipment reviewing isn't music reviewing or music industry reviewing."

Sophie who?

100,000? That's barely enough to cover the cost of professional production and distribution. You know, little things like studio time, mixing, mastering, artwork, layout, jackets, distribution, etc.

My guess is that NOBODY is getting rich off of her. Try again.

Now, if you were to say "Cheap Trick", which was a bar band in 1975, then you might have a case. Or Eric Clapton, or Elton John, the Guess Who, Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart, Riba McIntyre, Conway Twitty, Chris Botti, etc., etc., you get the idea. Name ONE current well-known musician who you can hold up as a poster child for your position, and I'll lighten up on you.
