      You have a point, but remember that musicians aren’t getting an hourly wage when they record an album.

      Also, major record companies seriously screw artists. They give them an advance, which is basically a loan, that is supposed to include the costs of recording the album. If the album tanks, the artist is in debt to the record company. It’s ruined people who’s debut album didn’t chart.

      Same. :( People should send me money every time they walk into a room I worked on.
