Just as you did with your job, many companies how ever much moeny you save them or earn them will never pay you that great a percentage in return.

As you wrote earlier Joe you have no sympathy for those that lose money or there jobs thats life file sharing/signing a contract which is poorly weighted agaisnt you.

Regards the advance Joe if i loaned you money to start a company and said first before you earn any money i want mine if you didn't like the terms you wouldn't agree to it you would go elsewhere surely?
deal, means to me where you both agree

tell me andy, when you was offered your present job, and they told you to sign the contract, did you tell them you wouldn't sign it, unless they made changes ?

i bet you signed it,just like everyone else, you've no option but to sign it and take the job on their terms and conditions or if you don't,then no job.. you don't have a choice when you need to work to live..

so an advance, so the reason the price of a album is so high, is that they need the money to invest in new talent, but the new talent get advances they have to pay back, so the public pays and the artist pays and the record company takes it all..
