It's a corrupt industry
I get a check every once in a great while for a song I wrote fifteen years ago. My bona fides.
The music industry is really, really corrupt. Most of the profits are separated from the writers and performers long before anyone in the public has a chance to download a song.
In a way, the industry's desire to push the concept of digital music over analog, when they moved from LPs to CDs, is what brought them to this problem. Once the average joe could copy zeroes and ones the industry had lost.
