That's a tiny minority.

Lets face it: if you haven't made your profit in 5 years you never will and the loss will have been written of.

Is your argument seriously that since innovative artists are a small minority, it's necessarily alright to harm them? You don't see any problem with that?

Van Gogh never got monetary reimbursement for his art. Are we all suppose to feel terrible for such an injustice?

As a budding musician. I am mentally prepare for my art to be a financial failure/setback. It comes with the territory.

Not very innovative if somebody expects to live the rest of their life on the royalties of one book or movie. And realistically who can do that anyway? In popular culture?
