Musicians are like a Tube site. They put there music out there, to get bigger followings, they get endorsements, twitter followers, pay per tweet contract etc..it is a digital world. They have adjusted...and the internet has given them 10 new ways to make money after only taking away 1 way of making it..
Wow and my close friend at Sony music had the nerve to tell me that despite all those new sources of revenu... that they still only make pennies compared to what they used to earn and to expect more canned over hyped pop as they attempt to fill the financial void.

Boy I am very happy you set the proverbial record straight. I learn something new every day.
