"How people can believe that paying a small amount of money to the composers/writers of the music allows them rights to any performance of that music is beyond my comprehension."
It is not any performance that I believe we are entitled to. It is "reproductions" of a performance that we are entitled to. I still believe whole heartedly in paying hand of fist to see concerts, actual live performances. But, I feel that is it unconscionable to charge for reproductions of performances when there is clearly no effort of the performer. There would be no performance without the writers, so I think it is fair that they are the only one that get the profit.
Writers/composer should be rewarded for introducing enrichment into society, and performers should be paid to perform, nothing more.
