MP3 Creator On Sharing Music

EpsCylonB writes "The BBC has an article about Karlheinz Brandenburg, who is one of the creators of the MP3 music format. Interestingly he comments that he doesn't like Napster, he thinks that people should have easier access to music but that artists should get paid for what they do."

Re:Interesting?

Sure you do.

Every time your code sells another copy, you get paid for it. Or rather, your company does, and they pay you.

Now, if you write your own code, and you sell it to a company who resells it without getting some kind of royalty deal, that just implies you have no business sense.

Try to remember that use is different from distribution.
