Look at it this way. Music is what they do for a living. I write
software for a living. I want to be as successful a programmer as I
can be. So, if I'm an "indie" programmer, and write some shareware
that becomes immensely popular, and then I'm courted by major
corporations. I get a job with Oracle, a major player in the
client/server database world.
You're all gonna be happy for me, right?
The music industry is the only place where the model given by my
example is not considered a good thing by the end-users (fans, in this
case)
They make music for a living. Of COURSE they want to be successful
and make money doing something they love.
Who wouldn't?
