The Double-Dip Mentality

[kandrathe]

Yes that all sounds very nice, but you know that if the managers, producers etc. don't make commercials, nobody buys the CD of Britney Spears etc.etc. And just as you know this, also Britney Spears knows this and  that is why she signed the contract that, as most important person who contributed to the CD she only gets a few %.

So I also think the artist should get more, even 50 % if you ask me....but only under the condition that they stop making clever adds to sell expensive stuff to poor highly influencable kids. And that radio stations start playing music that they like, instead of getting paid for playing certain songs etc. etc.
probably people will reply again with "but nobody forces you to buy the CDs" and "they have the law on their side".
So maybe it is time that there will be some laws against selling useless things to people. :blink:

What is Britany Spears? Does she write all her songs? Does she play all the instruments? Does she even plaster on her own makeup? She sings(when not lip sync'ing), she dances, and she is packaged to appeal. T.J.Miller the designer, or guy on the assembly line works just as hard, is probably smarter, and probably has to think about his job harder than she does. So, since Britany is not self made I see no reason why those who made her, packaged, marketed her shouldn't get their wage.
