musicians get an allowance from a record company to make an album. that is a loan that has to be paid back BY the artist. for the most part major labels are middle men squeezing people for cash.
major artists make waaaaaay more off touring but record sales is where company profits come from. so sure not having these labels, label reps and owners would lose their money. but they are millionaires anyway. producers, mixers, stage bands can/do get their pay from the artists anyways i knew a fairly popular band though far from "major" britney spears major and their allowance was $5bucks a day from the label. where they slept at night was out of their own pocket and that 5 bucks was all they got and it went to food. i believe they had to pay for the gas in the tour van -------------------- Little monkeys making money
