I disputed the notion that there was little to no value in the "free" software they got because most of their business is in the packaging and distribution of the software. Recording artists give up the copyrights to their material to companies that package and distribute it. They get hefty checks in return. The bulk of the cost is in the packaging and distribution, but does that mean that what the recording artist produced is of little-to-no consequence?
