The Artist's should be complaining about the real thieves

Stop it with this nonsense.That pie chart is no more accurate than me saying I'm the best audio engineer in town.
And you call yourself a reviewer?
Before you post again about this topic, get in touch with some current musicians who have published works. Your thinking is myopic and outdated.
Back in the 1930s, '40s, 50s, musicians often were the flowers that the record companies sucked nectar from. But those days are long gone. Every professional musician I know is making a fine living, and getting their due share of the sales, and which they agreed to, per their attorney's advice.

Sophie Milman has sales of individual albums sell over 100,000 copies which is a lot.She's barely making it - someone must be?
Audio Equipment reviewing isn't music reviewing or music industry reviewing.

Sophie who?
100,000? That's barely enough to cover the cost of professional production and distribution. You know, little things like studio time, mixing, mastering, artwork, layout, jackets, distribution, etc.
My guess is that NOBODY is getting rich off of her. Try again.
Now, if you were to say "Cheap Trick", which was a bar band in 1975, then you might have a case. Or Eric Clapton, or Elton John, the Guess Who, Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart, Riba McIntyre, Conway Twitty, Chris Botti, etc., etc., you get the idea. Name ONE current well-known musician who you can hold up as a poster child for your position, and I'll lighten up on you.

What is my position?
That recording company makes more than artists? They do. Just like the movie companies make more than the actors (combined) making the movies.
