Each song on that CD is worth $.09 that SHOULD GO straight back to the copyright holder, according to the US congressional statutory law. If a CD is "worth pennies" then 10 songs on that CD are worth at LEAST $.90 that should go straight back to the songwriters.

BTW, what songs have you written? Do you have any concept of the "value" of music?

So then if these bands had the talent (or rented out the machines) they could share it cheaply and make a lot more money. RIAA is the problem here since it is not adapting to changing technology.

Haven't written any songs, but if they can play a tune on the radio they are giving it away for free, so it can't be worth all that much.

PS ... the model with songs for .25 or .10 allow that many more people to listen to it and increase the likelihood that they may go to CONCERTS, which is where musicians can make their killing.
