Virtually everyone in this world gets paid only for the work they do, they cant simply do a task and then continue to be paid for that task without doing more work. If someone designs a car they get a flat fee, they dont get a percentage of every car sold, they have to keep working in order to make money just like everyone else. A musician however spends a few months in a recording studio and rather than get a fee for that time plus all the time it took to write the music they get a percentage, so that they continue to earn a living without working, in some cases they may be dead and still earning money. NO one else on the CD is paid like this, so why should they be any different?

Someone that builds a mercedes gets paid the same as someone that builds a hyundi. If someone wants to buy music to resell then they can decide if they want to pay for it, it is brainless to say it should be left up to the public to decide, no one else operates like that and for good reason.

Well, I see where you're coming from, but the other people perform their job and that's that. The musician's music style, lyrics, and maybe even looks and who knows what else get people to keep buying it, so the more records sold the more they deserve for it. Why should someone who makes a crappy record and sells very few be paid as much as someone who makes a good record and sells a gazillion copies? Or why should one who sells lots of copies get paid less to balance it out for those who make the crappy ones?
Being famous they still have to maintain the image they set out and give up their private life and who knows what else. They are making the money but they still are paying a price. So there ya go.

anybody SINS or we does not choose a savior. in simple terms because of the fact they're Christian does not recommend they end sinning! we are actually not suitable human beings and as long as we stay in a fallen international, there'll constantly be sin.

I don't see a problem with that. Good work if you can get it.
