Re: OT: Recording Industry Ripoff
You're missing a point here. Money should go from the publisher to the developer, period.
If Asimov and Joe D. Writer both write for an honest publisher, they both get checks. Asimovs' is bigger, and that's the only difference. And it's bigger because he sold more books. Sure, some writers get more per word. But none of them get nothing.
And artists have been complaining about getting nothing. That is not honest.
You say the publisher takes all the risk. You do realise that the band likely had to quit their jobs, some of which were probably well-paying, to play, and play and play - To go out on the road and play in all sorts of places, many of which you probably wouldn't go in if you didn't have to.
Art takes work. Work takes time. Time is money, in many ways.
