most musicians don't - maybe nobody should make a living off of musicians
they way that unscrupulous record labels do?
I think that would be a better situation.

I'm not a recording artist but couldn't musician's unions be a bit stronger
in fighting the status quo of contracts and payment? Seems like the larger
unions are in bed with the IIRC and the major media corps.
