lost profit

Technologys great once again,,,,when everything is working. Tonight is another fine example. Our class could not be online. We were sitting pretty for and hour. We called for the code to hook up get on line. Once we received that, there was still trouble.....Then finally it was noticed that the telecofence machine was not hooked up probaly......image that. The funny thing was that once we got on line, three other sites were dropped. So class was good, the end that we did see. As far as music being downloaded. I see where the musicians are losing profit. Being an artist myself and belonging to one of the oldest Chanting Groups....Thunder Eagle Singers. We see our songs being used by other groups. But for us it good because it shares our culture to the world. However if there is groups or artist using our music on there CDs and making a profit without acknowleging our group or the writer, we are in the loss.
