Because you can't wear a photo of video. The photo of video is simply an ad for the product, but for music it is the product

- amelius 10y agoOk, but for music it is also an ad for the product.
- yoo1I 10y agoCould you elaborate ? It seems to me that music delivered via my speakers is the product itself.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoMusic is marketing for a live performance by the performer. Trent Reznor probably cares more about the thousands of dollars (VIP tickets via his fan club site) I've paid to see him live over the last decade or so than the ~$150 I've spent on his albums (with the label taking most of that).

Trent Reznor made millions before the collapse of the music industry in the 2000s THANKS to big labels. It's easy for him not to care about your money, at all. He'd be nothing if no major label invested in him in the 90's .
- pessimizer 10y agoNo, he'd be very famous, and probably just as productive. Certainly not rich, though. He was on TVT records, one of the small labels snorted up by Interscope, later snorted up by Universal Music Group. He was associated with the Wax Trax! people, many of whom were extremely prolific, and extremely successful, and who were snorted up by TVT before they were snorted up by Interscope before they were snorted up by Universal. The big labels didn't start anything, they just bought it up.
