Who on the DG label is covering the cost of recording and paying DG 10% of their concert fees? I personally know one person who absolutely is not.
I would be very surprised to find out that *any* of DG's marquee artists are paying anything to DG for either recording costs or a percentage of their concert fees.
And then what's left? Newbes and wannabes? Which of them have the cash sans an established career to finance a DG recording session?
I am skeptical of this scheme. I am skeptical that it would work for the artists in any way and I am skeptical that anyone other than a few suckers who were badly represented by their management or didn't have management in place took this deal with DG.
And if they did manage to sucker any artists into this lose lose deal i am confident that it would be a one and done. No resigning.

All I can say is that my source is a a concert artist who is close to a lot of things in the music business. I have no difficulty in believing him. If you don't believe any of this that's entirely up to you, though I don't buy a lot of your reasoning at all.
As I said all along, this is about new artists and not established DG artists. I have no difficulty in believing they're on different terms entirely, especially the big names.
I just think it's such a crap deal for artists that it's bordering on being a scam and I doubt that any artists of note would take this deal. If DG has suckered some new artists with this deal those artists have my deepest sympathy and I wish them a quick financial recovery.
It would be a shame for any artist to pay for recordings that will likely never recoupe their costs and then give up 10% of their real income to do so with little hope of getting anything out of it
I know a few DG artists personally. They are not paying DG for recording costs and they are not paying DG any percentage of their concert fees.
what reasoning are you not buying and why?
