Do you know how much money the artist gets for album sales??They get all their money from tv apperances, concerts and stuff like that. And when putting yourself in the artists shoes... i think they would be happy that their music is being heard and having fans. Isnt that what you want when you decide to become famous? And if your a multi millionare, moeny doesnt matter that much. You said that if you dont get paid the artist wont wanna create??? When will and jazz started out im sure they didnt have alot of money, and that didnt stop them from wanting to rap.
