What is your point? That if you like something it shouldn't be a job and you shouldn't be paid??? All jobs should only be things we don't like to do? What kind of logic is that? Isn't that the goal of everyone? To get a job in something they like to do? And you are saying it shouldn't be that way? For what reason?

So just because you don't get paid for your music nobody should? I'm sure most of the people making music now would continue because they enjoy it...doesn't mean they shouldn't get paid.
