Artists 'SELLING OUT' - can we discuss?

..artists have to "sell-out" because they usually get ripped off by their own record companies....;)

IMO: Artists have always "sold" out, nothing new.

I would much rather see artists making money from their craft than have the situation faced by so many of the older black blues musicians. So many of them never had the rights to their music and so received nothing at all, not even royalties from those who would become wealthy much later on from covering their songs._Mrmitch

Preperation H wanted to use Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire", but the family tasefully declined. Kinda funny though :).
