Record Labels May Have to Pay Double Royalties
douglips writes "News.com.com.com brings us this article explaining how record labels may be bitten by CD copy protection. At issue is the mechanism that places duplicate WMA tracks on the CD. The labels are thus selling two copies of each song, and may be required to pay twice as much to music publishers. So not only is the DRM ineffective, it also could be a huge legal liability for labels."

Right.... and the poor athletes and actors too, being stuck with petty $20 million salaries... Boo Hoo hoo, bring the box of tissue, I feel so sorry for them. Want the truth, the musicians are way overpaid and so are the music companies. If there was true competition, we would have cd's being sold for around $2.00, their true values.
steve albini's the problem with music is a well-documented accounting of how bands on major labels get hooped by clawback clauses.
