Tell that to all the great old Black artists who got ripped off or walked away with nothing. If only it were that easy or simple! Someone made that point the other day about Jimi Hendrix's estate. And in America if you wanna get paid you have to have a lawyer - or team of them - and you have to have good, honest lawyers. And that don't come for free. The music business is very, very shady. I think you can be good and clever and still get ripped off on the regular.
