- horsawlarway 6y agoIf by rights, you explicitly mean "The right to be paid" then I think you're probably correct. Although I'd note they're not really interested in having the musician get paid. Mainly just members of the RIAA.

At some point, ethically, I start to lose ANY sympathy for them as an organization.
