"sound recordings without authorization, neither Plaintiffs nor their artists see a dime. Not only does this harm Plaintiffs and the artists or their heirs by depriving them of compensation, but it undermines the value of music.”

Heirs? What is this, a medieval royal court? No one should see a dime from selling copies of a work created by someone who isn’t even alive. Their “heirs” should have to make their own contributions to society if they want to be rewarded with wealth, just like the rest of us.
