  While I might sound like a broken record, you don't make any money unless your record company keeps your recording in print. Given the current distribution modalities, with the 50 year limit, most musician's recordings are more likely to be preserved and heard.
   
  I would guess that once again, musicians are falling for the hype being promulgated by those who stand to benefit the most, the record companies.
