As I've browsed similar questions, I see a scary attitude of "Music should be free". I agree that the spirit, and celebration of music, as well as the communal nature of music should always be free. However it takes just as much effort to become a quality musician as it does a quality police officer, or architect. If there is no incentive to celebrate the genius of someone's writing or talent, and SUPPORT they're efforts, why should they feel compelled to share they're work? I, for instance have been a pro-songwriter, and sold my work for profits. I have a degree in music, and practiced for 17 years to get where I am...Why should I just GIVE you what I've worked hard to produce?

Whoa relax...
In all sincerity my friend...you need an attitude adjustment. Blaming the times for changing ain't going to put money in your pocket.
Don't limit your choices to old ways of thinking. The internet provides unlimited possibilities to where you can take your music. There are simply too many ways to make money. It's all about what you own and how business savy you are. Do you have your own production company? How about licensing deals? How agressive are you marketing your self? Ever thought about signing new talent? Cause apparently Mr. Music degree, whatever you've been doing for the last seventeen years hasn't worked out for you.
If music is your passion then stick with it. The money is there you just have to find it. The key thing to remember is to be open minded to opportunity when it knocks on your door.
The question you need to ask yourself is: Who are the people that are where you want to be? Find them and mimic their every move.
Anyone who supports you in your "wet mop" mentality is not your friend and you should start spending less time with them and more time with the life you envision for yourself.
Don't hate me. This entry is all in love and all good.

The best part of being a musician is the live performance. Maybe all these changes will refocus attention on that, and if so, that's all to the good!

"Why should I just GIVE you what I've worked hard to produce?"
You don't get into music for the money, you get into it for the love of music. Period. If you're here for the money, you're here for the wrong reason.
