one by one everyone is losing money to those that steal from them, more ways to advertise today then ever but the same singers who'd make 100 million a year in if it was 1985 are making 5 million now, so many have to come out of retirement because the royalty checks became a joke.
This is the only business where assholes like you who steal and help others steal can sit behind a computer and act as if you are doing everyone else a favor.

bullshit
name one artist who made 100 million a year ( that 1 billion a year in gross sales ) that has had to come out of retirement because the royalty checks are a joke.
the old 1985 contracts screwed the artist royally, they made all their money off the tours not royalties.
an established artist comming out of retirement today releasing the songs independently can make more money without the studios just cashing in their previously paid for fame (remember promotion cost are charged out of their 10%).
radio head proved it they made more money from every free downloader (because of the affiliate commissions on their tour ticket sales) then they would have made selling them the album at full price.
Many of their fans paid full price (got to keep 10 X the royalties) and the average price netted them 4.65 times the income (including the free downloads as zero-- see above).
the 90/10 split and you pay all the cost out of your share bullshit is what is dying i can't believe you are trying to defend that ass raping as "protecting the artist".
