According to Ciudad Futura the answer is in this graph, showing where the benefits of the average music record goes to:
For those who can't read Spanish, the translation is:
- Compañía discográfica: music company
- Procutor: producer
- Manager: manager
- Estudio de grabación: recording studio
- Anterior discográfica: previous music company
- Representantes: representatives
- Abogados: attorneys
- Músico/artista: musician/artist
So draconian anti-piracy laws are hardly justified in the name of the artists' profits. It's really more a matter of vampires'... I mean: corporations' profits. Nothing else.
Hence my fatwa is piracy is good, at least in most cases.
