Niteshift and Jim: The question I would ask you then is -- what is the relative cost of a recorded song/demo then? I am assuming that the US had the similar situation back when things started out (I guess there were no demos in the old days -- demos were live!).
However, I have to assume that the "demo" and "limited release" concepts arose to be cheaper (and then let's make it up in volume). If "master" session prices are equivalent to your recording prices, then that make sense. Of course, this whole argument really applies in the US to large recording markets, Nashville, NY, LA, ...) where union musicians rule the roost. I am sure if I could find some talented guys locally to do a demo, then it would be a work-for-hire and I could do whatever I wanted with the tapes.
