The record labels companies are sued for pirating music from their own artist to the tune of $6billion.

They have been going after  the citizen of the world (mainly their own artist) complaining loudly, coming up with crazy figures that they claim they have lost.

These same music labels (Warner Music, Sony BMG Music, EMI Music and Universal Music) are committing far more wost crime, pirating music for profit.

All the top ten complication of the year such as DVD’s nd CD”S, were profitable for the companies and not to it’s rightful artists.

As a fan of music and musicians, i almost always bought a CD in order to support  an artist or to support the art in general. I feel misled and let down to know that the companies were getting all the profits without sharing a cent with the artists.

Well it turns out that these music labels never ask for these artists permission to or ever pay the artists for any of the sale/royalty of their music from these CDs sale.

the record company crying wolf and exacerbated the figure of what they are losing are now coming back to haunt them to the tune of $6 billion, more than what the whole  music industries worth these day!

“The labels have made a habit of using songs from a wide variety of artists for compilation CDs without securing the rights. They simply use the recording and make note of it on “pending list” so they can deal with it later. This has been going on since the 1980s and since then the list of unpaid tracks (or copyright infringements) has grown to 300,000.

Warner Music, Sony BMG Music, EMI Music and Universal Music were sued for illegal use of thousands of tracks and at present the case is still underway.” via torrentfreak.com
