I believe the artist are afraid to ask for more because in the end they make plenty. I'm not talking about record sales I am talking about touring. Touring and merchandising is where the money is. You have large companies sponsoring these tours plus the bands make money from expensive ticket sales, shirts and anything with their name on it.

The record labels and artist are laughing all the way to the bank. Major labels and main stream artist are alive and well and want us to think that piracy is hurting them. You want to know what hurts? Be a teen and have to pay outrageous ticket prices. That's not piracy that is price gouging and teens are the victims not the problem. Teens are the lifeblood of the music industry. It is about time they are treated fairly.
