They make millions and watch their sales grow while artists are left without the tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars that are being made on record sales. I would argue to U2 that the key difference between ISPs and record labels is at least ISPs won't discriminate against the "unprofitable" (more often than not AKA where the real talent went) If it weren't for the internet I would never have been an artist myself so tell me again how musicians are losing out in all of this.
