Ever heard of FAIRPLAY ??? If the artists do not get any money they 
can't work and we'll loose them. Of course, there are a number of people 
who don't care, but I think most people would pay them if the labels 
would be fair.

The labels broke fairplay when they raised fee to 20 EUR per Album and 
DVD and denied selling online as they want complete control over the users.

So, we want to pay if the labels would be fair. They want power and 
control. They even attack basic rights to become allmighty.

We have free markets and we are the users. An loosing money is the only 
way they understand!

I do not buy copy-protected CDs or DVDs anymore!
