The guy who puts up the money always gets the biggest cut. Since when is that not the norm?

but once the band is established and met all the conditions of their contract, why the fuck should they be expected to continue to take it up the ass.
Radio head is testifying against the RIAA because they are actually using that 90% to try and destroy a distribution method that does a better job of promoting them and pays artist more even if a majority (60%) freeload
What is worse is they are pretending they are doing for the artist benefit.
