No one wants to be that person.. but somebody has to be if you want to make $

No one's really looking at the situation for what it is. And let's be honest, it's not the very sexy part of the business, right? It's not. No one wants to be the person who's— no one wants to be the creep at 2 o'clock in the morning when everyone's having a good time in the studio pulling out a contract, making sure that everyone gets their split sheet done right. But the truth of the matter is that that is what drives the revenue for the business. And that's the business side of it. And so I know that there's a lot of artists who— it's not just about the money. But I think it's really important that if you're going to invest your time and you're going to invest your creativity and you're going to put it out in the world, I think it's reasonable for you to want to be able to be compensated. The truth is, if you don't, someone else will. Let's just be clear. If your art is valuable, it will generate revenue. So now the question is, are you going to collect it or is somebody else going to collect it?
