Half the time some of those artist's jump on that bandwagon to help flog their wares first & foremost - any publicity is good publicity right?

Not only do I think the artists should be paid, but also the managers, promoters, disc manufacturers, transport companies, and retail outlets.

You're surprised someone who doesn't know you didn't pick up on sarcasm through the internet? Really?!?!?

Also ad hominem doesn't have to be attacking a single person, the point is you're not countering the argument. Just the argument makers credibility. ;)
