you do realize it costs money to make a concert in the first place right? you dont see money from it until the tickets are bought, and then you are compinsated for your investments. as for endorsements, that alone wouldnt keep michael jordan rich. he's living off o savings and is supplementing it with the nike stuff. you have to have the money to make either of those into a profit, you dont have to have that much to make a great selling sample cd, which blooms into a contract,which they would then get paid for. i know plenty of up-start musicians to know how that would work. you arent just ripping off the companies when you pirate music, you're ripping off your band, your self, and the entire idea of a free economy. it's nice to see you're thinking though, it shows you are trying to come up with the correct answer.
