Just some food for thought
I'm not for piracy, but I think it's not fair that artists in the entertainment industry should get paid so much. Why should they get a dollar each, for example, from each person who wants a copy of their song? Entertainment is well, just entertainment and singing is just singing. Lots of people can sing well. Even if we get songs for free, artists will still be earning big bucks. I mean, if the masses like the artist, he or she will have enormous marketability. They still earn a nice sum outta commercials, song rights for product endorsements, holding concerts and etc. The bottom line is that their pay cheques are just not justifiable. I seriously think that entertainment artists of today are as overpaid as the wall street bankers. My opinion is that in the future, this is gonna change.

Have to agree. It's the same with baseball and basketball in the US. Soccer in England. Their annual income could probably feed a village for a decade. (Or more) Artistes have such a huge following that it is impossible to ignore. Unfortunately, unless ALL record companies adopt a salary cap so to speak, it is unlikely to see a pay cut. For loyalty these days are non-existant; they would just switch to another label. Or another team.
