Musicians are paid on the basis of airplay frequency, so that the
musicians "on the charts" get the dough, while everyone else gets to go
fly a kite. This is the music industry using the legal system to
subsidize their operations, sweetening the deal for their top artists.
It is beyond unfair, and rewards those who don't need it, at the expense
of those who do. Robin Hood-in-reverse, as usual.
