Australian Idol did not see a cent of estimated $3m profit


Australian Idol winner had Australia's highest selling album of 2007 but got nothing from the estimated $3 million profit. dailytelegraph.com.au. via reddit. Do I have to say it? This is one of the reasons why some people disagree with copyright laws. We are told to buy original because the creator, in this case Damien Leith (and don't tell me the studio is the creator - what would they create if his voice was not part of the album? People buy the album primarily for Damien Leith, not the session players, the recording studio etc). How does buying a record in this case support the artiste?
