Humming is theft, record bosses claim.
“For years people have gone about humming their favourite songs whenever it took their fancy. Normally this would be a source of pleasure. But this pleasure came at the expense of lots of hard work from the musicians who are clearly not getting any compensation for this,” screamed an indignant Rilary Hosen of the Recording Industry Association of America.
To further prove that the RIAA’s motivation is not selfish, she flourished statistics which prove that artists only get about 2.3 per cent of all money that their work generates. “So they really need every penny they can get,” sniffled Ms. Hosen through a cascade of tears.
