Not always as simple as you may believe. The music industry will never lose a chance to get some profit. For instance, I recently downloaded 14 GB worth of Mozart for my father (I do not listen to music at all - never listened to a song in my life). According to the guy releasing it through torrent, it is the total, absolutely complete collection of everything Mozart ever performed. Since Mozart is long dead, it should be free. But, actually, people still charge for Mozart. The reason is because you obviously ave to perform Mozart, since there are no recordings of him. And so, to this day, people still pay for Mozart.

But as for Elvis, I believe you are right. But is there anyone releasing that music for free? How would you do it? Copy a disc onto a computer and torrent-share it? Even when what you are about to do was illegal just a year ago?
