Sale Or License? Sister Sledge Sues Over ITunes - Slashdot

I’m loathe to pay for music (though not television programming or movies) because I know I’m not rewarding the artist. Artists for a century or more have become victims of flim flam men selling them predatory deals which usually impoverish them in the long run unless they’re among a tiny minority of superstars. I’d love to simply pay the artist directly, and would probably pay more than the stated worth of the work as a tip and gesture of appreciation. Hopefully I’ll be able to do that some day. http://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/12/02/10/043259/sale-or-license-sister-sledge-sues-over-itunes
