Is there any part of the world free from music piracy? I can get one of the latest Hollywood movies for under a dollar right now. I won't name the location. Not Nigeria.
A few years ago one of my favorite Calypsonians, Shadow, lamented the loss of income
from piracy. Mouth watering, eyes gleaming, the pirates wait for the latest production,
lamented the bard.
It's a difficult problem to solve.
