I appreciate what they are doing.The sound is great. It's a bit weird that there is Leadbelly, Louis Armstrong, Moe Koffmann etc on there.I wouldn't go to this site for them anyway. But if you are into garage music, girl groups, old folk stuff, proto punk or any of those genres that are served by long series of compilation cds, this has been the business model for decades. You think everyone on the Killed by Death, Back From The Grave, Girls With Guitars or the That'll Flat Git It comps got paid? My guess is that even if the copyright holder was tracked down it would be unusual that the actual artists received a penny. Not to mention that the profits would be pretty slim anyway.
