Fair point, I do see DJs making the big money but again it's for the experience of the show or festival. I agree the money has always been in live performance.

Fair point, I do see DJs making the big money but again it's for the experience of the show or festival. I agree the money has always been in live performance. Making recordings is really a way to get people interested - and how those people get those recordings is sometimes less important to musicians than it is to business people. If the recordings are free, but the musician makes money live, then the musician wins - the only people who don't win are the ones trying to get a piece of money from distributing the music recording. Good to chat with you, best of luck with your music!!
