For this air time, the TV station is incurring a loss and this inadvertently affecting the artists since their videos are not getting air play. So what money they (the artists) could've made from that video air time is now lost to them.Even worse, if the TV station ripped the video off from EK, the artist is not getting any payments at all since there's no deal between the artist and the TV channel for that song.It would be a good idea to embed a line like "not for public broadcasting or viewing" in the EK videos to help safe guard EK from possible legal action.This is due to the industry not running as an industry in SL. While we do have piracy and IP laws, these needs to be implemented properly and artists have to come together and demand the authorities to implement them. Also artists/record labels have to take legal action against those who disregard the piracy laws. A few large scale law suits against TV/Radio channels and shops will get the industry in order. Public awareness of the IP and piracy laws helps as well. When people know that its wrong to rip a song off, and when they also know that they will be sued if they get caught, the public will get used to buying music instead of stealing. I know this wont happen over night but it will happen only if people make it happen. So a stand has to be taken at some point.EK can help a lot for the changes that needs to happen since artists seems to be supplying their music directly to EK.</blockquote>
