RIAA and music labels keep 99%, artists get 1%

99% of that 1% goes to factory churned has-beens like Britney Spears, instead of actual artists, to keep the big ugly celebrity machine turning.

Exactly the points I was going to bring up. This fee all goes to the RIAA. This isn't a solution. Its just another way to gain more money compared to what the artists get already. In reality record companies are just loan/advertising agencies. They loan you money they think they will make back through record sales. Then continue to collect after that loan is paid off.

You don't sell enough to make the money back then you owe. If you don't make the millions they thought you would, its your fault. That's like if a company you invested in didn't perform the way you thought it would, then demanded back the money you invested, even though the shares are worth half.

I mean I understand the personal responsibility that should be involved with any contract. But it always seems the individual gets screwed. If you don't make money you still owe them whats left. If they don't make money you loose what you invested.
