 Re: Downloading Classical Music

Sorry, I haven't read all the posts here, but I'm interested about people's thoughts on this subject.
I am a musician, and I have many people in my family who are recording musicians aswell.
I do download music on occasion, just as I do buy music on occasion. I have $20 dollars to spend on a CD every once in a while, but not as often as I need music (mainly for studying purposes) This doesn't matter in particular.

I hear read people mentioning iTunes a lot on this thread. What I want to know is, from itunes, how much do the musicians make from an iTunes purchase? I find the recording industry very unfair (think about how much a classical musician is making compared to so many other kinds of music artists for recording) There are many strange rules about who can work with one another on particular recordings due to contracts, which limits all musicians. Is it fair to the musicians to base what we do so highly on a countries law?

I'm not trying to advocate p2p file sharing. I just think that we should think about what is actually going on rather than assuming that what is in place is the right thing. . .
If there were a system where the musicians and the actual recording personel received even a majority of the revenew, then I think I would always buy music without thought of another option.

I would also like to know what is so different from copying a CD, to copying a tape (which most people seem to think is fine) and then why is that such a step to finding something on the internet? Why is buying a new CD for half price from iTunes (which is essentially buying a used file of music, without the cover, case or almost any information about the artists) in perfect morality?
