They just seem unable to comprehend that they are already getting a more than reasonable return on the little they put into any endeavour, they entangle most artists up with take it or leave it contracts that most artists unwisely grasp at in case they lose the chance to make "the big time" and then with the rights of the artist tucked into their greedy belts they fill their boots with royalties until the artists work has made back the amount they pretend to have expended, they use tricks like hiring the studio themselves and the production staff and demanding that the noob artist use only their approved facilities and then adding a tremendous amount of charges for such facilities and producers, many times more than if the artist had any say in the matter. I have no respect for such profiteering and exploitation and nor do I wish to respect the inanely long copyright period that rewards such greed at the expense of public culture who seem to end up with little from the currently flawed copyright model that started out as mere years and now extends to multiples of lifetimes, this is not fair and has thus fallen into the category of fair game in the minds of many and when you read the finer details of constant racketeering by the recording industry its no secret why.
