It’s not a god given gift. It’s a job, for which you have to study, practice, invest, and work hard on to become successful. It’s only natural that you get compensated for your efforts, if they are appreciated.

The main problem is that most of the time the balance is a bit off, as in that the labels get compensated way more than the musicians.

I spent about 16 hours yesterday finishing up a track that I've been working on for the past 6 months. It's great! I love it. It's only 4 minutes long. I choreographed some great dance moves and got a great workout as I listened to my little song over and over. It's not anywhere on the web or record stores. If you want to have fun with the dance steps and enjoy the song you have to find me. Catch me at a 3 day camp out rave or one of the free concerts I regularly play for free. I will perform for you and you will call me guru.</p> the idea that music is something you could “buy” was faulty to begin with.
