musicians and writers are the only two professionals expected to give their work for free, and viewed as unreasonable assholes when A) they want to exert some control over their creation and B) to get paid a reasonable amount.
The problem is their product: It isn't a product at all, it's an idea, an experience. Your comment about IT is spot on, the Internet made ideas and experience almost worthless.
And as an ever-burgeoining (read: never finished anything important)writer, what is the answer?

First of all, what CAD and a lot you sound like the Veruca Salts of internet age downloaders. I want it NOW DADDY!
The internet has totally spoiled all of you. In the 80's, you had to go see the movie, or wait six months for it to come out on video and then rent the movie.
You heard good music on the radio, you either sat around listening to the radio with your blank tape, or you found a friend with it, or you just bought the damn thing.
As far as musicians and songwriters not making money, cry me a river. Shreveport is full of musicians, actors, artists, etc. who are never going to be millionaires. Get a real job like everyone else. I get where you are coming from Baloo. I've seen numerous posts of your concerning this subject and I get it. Musicians are the ones really getting screwed in this war. Adapt with the times or GTFO. No one is crying for the horse and buggy makers or VCR repairmen.
As far as the rest of you...it's still illegal. Wah wah, I can't watch Walking Dead anytime I want to and on whatever device I want to. Oh woe is me.
I want an Oompa Loompa NOW DADDY!

Volume. Some of the $.99 cent authors on Amazon supposedly do very well.

The rules are different on the Internet. It's a very feast or famine media. If you can get the right exposure you'll do ridiculously well, if you can't get the exposure, you might as well not exist. If Baloo is right about how little money artists get from digital music then the answer may very well be to take the music off the services. Don't sign with a record label, use social media to market your band and sell your music directly from your website.
