when a music artist dies,who gets the sales money?

whoever owns the rights to the music. if the artist owns the rights then they will most likey be handed down to the family

Right to the Point . . . The Corporation . . . what ripped off Little Richard . . . but Jimi Hendrix's fam has big control of his estate . . . but alot of musicians got ripped off . . . big-time.

That's why "illegal downloading" is a matter of degrees.

I am sold the technology but am told it is illegal to use it,

someone else rakes in the residuals from another's production.

The record company actualy takes all the money.

they do, it's called itunes (^_^)

thats a good question
