Games die when you can't find enough people to play them...I know, I was a Runequest GM, and convincing people to play the (superior) Chaosium 1st ed rules was hell, when all they knew of was the convoluted and inferior Avalon Hill version. So chaosium runequest was essentialy 'dead', at least where I lived.
Sony, etc. pay a fee to the major record labels for each piece of digital audio copying equipment and each blank dat, minidisc etc. that they make. That's why the RIAA isn't suing them. (This was worked out and put into law to, in theory, compensate the labels for the cost of piracy). The fees are distributed based on percentage of recording sales, i.e. the major labels get nearly all the money.
