I'm not one to begrudge a person making a living, especially an honest living. It's easy to feel bad for a struggling band who can't make a living at it, but the real problem for artists are recording labels. It's an industry of greedy people, living on the backs of the talented, or of they can't find talent, talentless, but well marketed.
The artists need new ways to make money. It hasn't been proved to my satisfaction that an artist can't make a living with the new technological landscape, but it seems obvious that the record companies might need to take a paycut for the artists to get their due. These businessmen are the worst people imaginable, only concerned with lining their pockets. An adjustment in equitable music distribution and the ways artists and record companies expect to get paid is needed, and will happen. The charge will not, of course be led by large record companies, until their DRM/Piracy/Copyright legislation is found ineffective, and they realize the train is leaving without them. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
