Otto Matta Posted June 2, 2002 Posted June 2, 2002 The way I figure it, Linux, you alone have stolen US$3,000 from artists and US$9,000 from the labels and stores singlehandedly. 8,000 tracks / 10 = 800 albums 800 x US$15 = US$12,000 US$12,000 / 25% = US$3,000 (artists' royalties) US$12,000 / 75% = US$9,000 (label and store cuts) 100 people like you have cost the industry US$120,000. 1000 people like you have cost the industry US$1,200,000. Not cool, man. Quote

Not cool, man. If only buying out of print / second hand records would give the industry anything. And yes I do realize I'm replying to a post from 2002. Now why'd you go and do this, draeke? Quote
