Protecting Your DRM Rights

    Who is going to protect my right(I'm a recording artist) to make a living off of my work? I depend on sales of my cd's, not on the number of copies of my work in existence!

      I understand the *concept* of fair use, but worry about the way it pans out in practice...

      I would hate to sell like one cd and have 2 more unpaid for copies floating around. That's like giving away 2 apples for every one you sell! Kind of a sad business model...

      Making music is a risky enough way to try to make a living without this hassle.

      And just for the record, I'm not trolling, this issue is close to my heart is all.

      And, if you don't trust your customers to be fair, then you have the right to not sell the products of your talent to those who do not give it proper respect.

      That's it !!! I will distribute a EULA with my records! --> ; )
