Good point. That is a definite benefit but it's still difficult for someone
to go from supporting themselves with their music to not.
I understand that it's still a decision a musician makes and it's no one's
fault, really, but the musician for signing the contract to begin with. I
think Jeff at Ninja said something to this effect, but it boils down to the
sometimes unrealistic expectations we have that getting "signed" means
instant fame, notoriety, and cash. It just doesn't. The ones that get that
are few and far between. And what's left are masses of people disillusioned
with the whole system.
