This has been true for thousands of years. Musicians traveled from town
to town, entertained and got paid.
In advanced economies, the rich (austrian princes, etc.) would pay to

Sorry to burst your bubble.
All these internet articles are nonsense spread out by a
misunderstanding and desire to attack the RIAA.
The case was about ripping and then ***sharing*** files, not just
