    The artist gets the smallest portion of the profit if any. It's not about protecting the artists and never has been. The vast majority of artists only demand that they are acknowledged as the creator and not that people don't pirate it. Pirating tends to work to the advantage of the artist as it spreads their work which is 99.9% of the goal. If you're known, making money is easy.
