Question about soundtracks, copyrights and ModDB !

[Daemian]

I am not questioning copyrights. But the point of copyright is that people cannot make money with your work. If an artist creates a song, someone puts it into a game and sells it the artist's money got stolen. Because he deserve some of the money that the game's creator got from selling the game, since it contains the artist's song. But when someone uses it for a game that he does not sell , while crediting the artist, I do not see where the artist loses potential money.

Having some issues with making myself clear, sorry x)

Because you are distributing the product for free.
