Both of them were hit by piracy BADLY. Their CDs do not sell anymore because they're freely available at any torrent site, and they do not do live events to make it up for the lost income. None of the two is recording any new music anymore and have to earn their living through other means.

this btw is the moronic that attempted to kill the vcr. Just becuase your friends are too clueless to adapt to the new technology (and the new fair uses that it brings) doesn't give them the right to destroy my rights.
Figuire out the "put your stuff on the tape cassettes and sell it to the vcr owners" solution to this problem.
The one that will turn torrents into the new biggest money in history of the music industry.
if you want could refer them to me, since i have already taught dozens of musicans on exactly how to do this.
