You asked, is there a problem? I believe that a problem exists in both directions. The first direction, as Mr. Albert mentioned, is that we pay a significant percentage of our revenues, the majority I would say, to take care of the rights on royalties. I believe strongly that artists should be compensated; it's simply difficult to build a business under that burden.
The flip side is that the more artists see that there is an opportunity to get out there and be known, there's an expectation that they should all become known. I don't think artists necessarily have a right to become famous and earn a living from their music—not all of them. I think that applies in every industry. There are always going to be some people who rise above, and there are some people who are going to be journeymen.
The vast majority of artists are simply not going to be able to access that next level. That's the way it's always been in the music business. There's a good reason for that: it's a business, and you need to create a marketable product. I think that the vocal minority who are talking about not being able to earn a living haven't necessarily done the legwork to discover whether this is a viable option for them. They haven't necessarily made the contracts that are required. They haven't necessarily built other aspects of that complete breakfast that I was talking about: their merchandise, their touring, their social media presence, and all the other things that go into a successful music career today.
I don't know that I would look to significant governmental change. I would say that right now the burden is on us to find a viable model for streaming, and it's difficult to do that under the current burdens imposed by the royalty rights.
