Pirates are Nigerian in no small numbers and a lot of them have become multi-millionaires by exporting these pirated Nigerian songs. You may think that these people are making money in Nigeria just by selling to those thousands of people but the fact is that a few of them are making millions by producing these songs in large quantities abroad and sellng them to Africans for a sweet profit. There have been stories of these kind of people caught in foreign countries with cds worth millions of dollars and so we no know that they are not satisfied with the Nigerian market as such. The artistes may be making sufficient profit for their music, enough to cover their needs and expenses, but when you get to hear how much these pirates are making from theses same songs, you'd marvel and pity music producers. It's a real problem and one of the major problems is that not very pirate knows that he is a pirate, and this is associated with the literacy problem in Nigeria. A lot of music pirates do not even know that what they are doing is bad but the just engage in it because it's what they know how to.
