There is a glut of people who write and perform either for sheer fun or the hopes that they will be "discovered". When there's a glut, the market price for the product or service is low. That's just the way it is in a market economy. Everybody and their dog want to be a star.
Now if those with proven hits get short-changed, that's a different issue. Hits have market value by definition.
We do need to distinguish to see if artists are getting their "fair share" of sales revenue.
I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when
you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.
