This might be true for images, but I doubt this is true for music. I would bet that musicians as a whole make most of their money from live performances. Music labels make their money from copyright though.

That's certainly been true for artists who are locked into restrictive contracts. Live performances have usually been the main ways for many to make money outside of their recording deals, experiment, and to sell merch.
