So, yes. They get paid. And it's rare to find great art where that isn't the case. But the most important considerations are elsewhere.

Of course artists should get paid. But, never ever has their art become better because they got paid more. (well maybe in volume, all those great masters from the 16, 17 and 18 th century that had a whole battalion of helpers to do most of the painting for them).
But what started this threat (the modern music business) has very little to do with art.
Singers see that with their well-oiled media machine can make millions of dollars with selling crap, will never be triggered to make something good.
