Okay, there's an aberation in history called the Recorded Music Industry. For a hundred years or so, it made sense to sell recorded wax cylinders, LP's or CD's and put most of the proceeds in the pockets of, not the artists, but the agents, producers and purveyors of the aforementioned media. This is ending, and it's not pretty.
The boneheads at RIAA have made suing little people into an artform. Many, many artists have written and performed great songs about what assclowns the record industry idiots are; my personal favorites are "Zanz Kant Danz" and "Mr. Greed" on Centerfield by John Fogerty.
Anyway, almost all recording artists make no money for themselves from recordings; the money is in performing. I'm hoping in 10 years there is no more recorded music for sale, it will be available online and traded and shared by all.
