Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

it is definately best to be wise with intellectual property. i took a 
class on the music industry and came out with the opinion that it is 
"rotten to the core" (clever continuation of the van halen theme :-)) 
they have full time cats that figure out how to squeeze every last 
screaming penny from the artists. sure the superstars get taken care of, 
but the history of pop has far more 1 shot bands than long established 
artists.
