This is another reason why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The should be made to help the preformer not the record labler and usely 95 years is way too long. Myself I don’t listen to anything made before 1968 just because it didn’t sound that good but it doesn’t mean it was bad stuff. Who can recall a great tune from the 1940′s or from 1930′s I can’t. So going by this law any music made from 1913 to the preset is to be protected by law. Is this another Mickey Mouse law to protect the recording lable.

Wow.. a whole 83 cents. The artist would need to sell 1000 copies just to make $830.00 not to mention that rest of the band members need to get their share as well. All Artists should just promote themselves!

This is another reason why major labels are having a hard time selling music. Most people who want to support the musicians buy direct. And if they can’t they aren’t bought.
