As I stated earlier, much of the value gap exists because of the loss of CD sales, and now, with the movement over to streaming and things that are not fully regulated and not fully monetized within our laws.
Of course, the other issue is that, years ago, an artist was signed to a label and there would be an A and R person who would groom these musicians and put out a product that was certainly sellable. They would make hits. It was a hit-making process. Now, with the Internet—and I'm not saying that this is a bad thing—artists no longer need the labels. They can go out and cheaply make these recordings, in their basements or in their garages, with very inexpensive equipment, and get their product out there on the Internet, but it's lost within this plethora of music out there. The advent of independence has also caused a lot of product to be out there, and therefore, less money to be divided among those who are making the product.
