Maybe that dead Grandmother can pay for the song she downloaded, directly to the dead artist in the afterlife. Considering they still get copyright protection long after musicians die, it makes the most sense.

Don't be fooled by label propaganda
Here's one example of how shills and their masters at the copyright cartels want you to think the reality of music works:
Reality:
A phone rings in a small apartment where four musicians from the New Age Rock band "Eating Babies" are sitting. The Lead Guitarist Band Member One picks up the phone:
Band manager: Hey guys! great news, quick turn on the radio on Hits FM!
Band Member one: Its our manager, he wants us to turn on the radio.
Band Member two: Cool..(he turns on the Radio to Hits FM)
DJ Remix: And now for a new band fresh on the scene, here's "The Rock Town" song from "Eating Babies"
Band Member three: DUDE, we're on the radio! Can you believe it!
Band Member two: People are listening to our song? FUCK YEAH! Wooohooo!
Band Member One: WE MADE IT! People are going to hear our song! Time to party.
Band Member Four: I'll call Linda to tell her to call the gang!
Band Member Three: I've never been so happy in my life....
(a wild party ensues)
The Fake Propaganda reality:
A public pay-phone rings in a backalley where four musicians from the label produced and approved "New Age" Rock band "Eating Babies" are starving having not eaten for days. The Lead Guitarist Band Member One picks up the phone:
Band manager: Hey guys! I have some bad news, very bad news to tell you, you better turn on the radio to Hits FM.
Band Member one: Its our manager, he wants us to turn on the our broken old radio.
Band Member two: I'm soo depressed (he turns on the Radio to Hits FM)
DJ Remix: And now for a new band fresh on the scene, here's "The Rock Town" song from "Eating Babies"
Band Member three: DUDE, we're on the radio! Can you believe it!?
Band Member two: People are listening to our song? THOSE FUCKING PIRATE FREETARDS! THEY'RE STEALING OUR SONG!
Band Member One: People are going to hear our song..FOR FREE! Time to sue!
Band Member Four: I'll call Linda at the RIAA to get her gang and find these pirate Hits FM radio thieves and all their scumbag freetard listeners!
Band Member Three: I've never been so miserable in my life....
(a wild party *at the RIAA offices* ensues)

Re: What about their stake holders
What about the stake holders in the whale oil industry? Surely they deserve to get their money? They invested heavily in owning whaling boats and worked hard to set up an entire distribution chain for it. Don't they deserve to be saved?
