As per normal you are reading too much into this. He simply said that he felt artists should not get paid for life for something they create once. Of course later on in the thread when I pointed out that if a band recorded an album and 20 years later people are still buying it they deserve to be paid for that and he agreed so maybe he means something different, maybe he changed his mind. I don't really know what you are talking about here. If a person puts their record up for sale and people buy it over and over again they ENTITLED to be paid for it so long as people are buying it. It doesn't matter if it is also available for free. If someone goes to itunes and buys their album they should be paid for it. If someone wants to use their song in a movie or TV show or commercial they should either be paid for it or at the very least have to give their approval and agree not to be paid if they don't care. That is it. That is all I am saying.

There is no flaw in my argument, yet there is in the argument posted by the person I mentioned. You see it is very simple. If a movie is available for free online and you watch it (never mind if you legally or illegally downloaded it) and then you choose to pay to go see it in the theater you have made the conscious effort to pay for something that you already have gotten for free. That is very different from going to the movie theater walking in and watching the movie then deciding you don't like it and not paying.
This, as per normal, has very little to do with my original point which is that if you make a record and people buy the record you should be paid for it no matter how long ago it was when you made it.
