And they wonder why we have piracy!!!
Do music publishers want to make money? If they charge Labels two or three times for the same profit they are effectively charge the consumer two or three times for the same product.

On the CD it's still one copy. If magically playing the CD allows me to do so in three location at once without copying the CD or any of it's content then sure by all means charge me 3 times for it.

If anything this is like adding a log on to the fire of piracy. Stupid!
