The Double-Dip Mentality

[kandrathe]

What is different about the Music industry that is not true of any employer/employee relationship? Consider the union laborer who builds cars on the Ford assembly line. How much of every truck does that laborer get? How about the artists and software designers at Blizzard? Did they get any royalties on every copy sold?

Musicians, authors, film stars actually have it better than most workers who work for a wage. Your average worker is stuck in a system where the corporations benefit from any windfall and adulation for a successful product, not the worker. Musicians can actually get rich from their work.
