Indeed they are! In fact did you know that most artists make 90% of their money on tours not record sales. For those who don't know most artists are screwed out of their money by the record company. The artist recieves a very small percentage of the record sales. However to make up for this they almost always go on tour where they are the only one who makes the money and then they pay for the expenses such as traveling, dining, and the crew that helps them perform their shows. But with all these expenses they still make millions of dollars more on tour then record sales. So if you want to support your favorite artist go to their concert which actually helps them instead of helping their record company which are all rich b4st4rds anyway.

Look at it this way most actors are extremely lucky if they make 20 million dollars for a movie but that's nothing when you realize that the movie can make over 100+ million dollars just in opening weekend and then another 50+ million in DVD sales.

Pirate,
You're breaking my heart.

But I agree -- all is NOT right in the world. Just wish I had been smart enough to get in on the ground floor! hahahaha

Have you heard anything more about the LW lawsuits?
