It always struck me that wealthy recording artists was easy to justify , you make something , people want to buy it , if you sell millions you make millions. Of course in 70's you had to pay 98p in the pound tax on earnings of millions .
radio stations make a profit .Why should some one else make money from something you did .
and it is now difficult for new artists make money from selling product , so the situation moaned about as come true . However the rip of price of product is partially responsible.
