We take for granted that we can find music on the Web - and Artist
details will be available about the track.

However, I find myself wondering who keyed in the information to make
it available. When was it done and what was the incentive - who owned
it, etc.

That depends on many things, smaller band will do this sort of stuff
themselves including art work and videos, and will write their won
music and lyrics.

While some of the larger more 'popular' might well have people write
and do everything for them.


I was thinking of the historic stuff - created before there was a need for
the info.

I think there was always a need for it. People have always had some reason for making their mark on the world from the very first cave painting of hands and animals they had their reasons for doing it, just as people have reasons for doing what they do today.
What is the reason for graffiti from killroy was 'ere to bansky .
Even the pyramids had the builders graffiti in them.

Trouble is in todays world it's usually for profit of some finacial or political/religious gain.
