Starting to see the dissent, which shows that it really wasn't about the artist, after all.(which I actually knew anyway)Peace

| The RIAA doesn't care about the artists. The RIAA thinks of artists the same way Marilyn Manson sings about "Disposable Teens."
If established artists were smart, they'd form their own Music Label--just one so they get more than 10-20% of the money.
Michael Jackson's Thriller album made him $75 million. It made the studio about $300-400 million.
Of course, James Cameron got $0 for directing Titanic. After it broke the box office records, they paid him only on the backend.

| actually James Cameron took a pay cut if i remeber for the movie on his own reconisense to finish it.
on another note its funny the RIAA scum bags can come of with a figure so quick when they sue someone but it takes forever for the artist to get there money. that's just a little to ironic. |

Yes, he returned his director's fee, $3.5 million, in exchange for finishing the movie the way he wanted. They still tried to screw him on the backend. He didn't see money on the movie till about 2 years later.
