Re: Why's everyone so upset about musicians not making a living
Speaking as a musician for whom the whole music career thing didn't work out, I'm not upset. My band got a small indie record deal and a few quid to spend on equipment, but it never turned into sales. So I have had to do other stuff to pay the bills. Fair enough. Not everyone succeeds at everything.
But I would be pissed off if my music had sold for many thousands of pounds and I'd got fifty quid.
The world doesn't owe musicians a living. People who become mega-rich by selling music owe musicians a living.
