legalized piracy

you must be wondering why the sentence, and that recently the remote Isle of Man in Ireland local government wants to legalize piracy steal music or pay more for it, as it is cocaine and synthetic drugs were free what would be the traffickers who would be well and the large corporations that use its products in some hidden in between which would find the music of a Brazilian singer CAETANO VELOSO the letter that says "OUT OF WORLD ORDER, there is something out of order" and listen Say it is not right.

Interesting. These days it seems like everything is in the category of legalized piracy...not just music. The more desparate the times get the more obvious and unscrupulous it gets...and it will probably get worse before it gets better. It seems that everyone just has to be more aware in terms of protecting themselves...which is not easy by any stretch of the imagination.

Who should protect (the law) is just going somewhere else is not it?

Well...fighting piracy will always be an issue and will never go away...neither will similar tracks in other areas. I suspect with the current economic conditions that managing piracy (although still a priority) might not be the top concern (just for now)...especially since the entertainment industry has been hit very very hard. Record companies and concert promoters are having to be even more creative to get by as there is such a tight squeeze on everything.

The thing is...these times have really pushed everyone up against the wall and you either face yourself and extend your creativity far beyond what you have ever ventured before, or you are left behind (and without any money as well). It's extremely difficult to face this but seems like the only solution. So in answer to your question, each artist will protect themselves basically by stepping up their game like never before in terms of how creatively they can strike deals and promote themselves...and just attempt to sell more records so the piracy aspect of things doesn't matter. It's up to the record companies, etc. to fight and pay for fighting piracy at the industry level. Really...this is what everyone has to do...not just artists.
