The guy who puts up the money always gets the biggest cut. Since when is that not the norm?

[sarcasm] Ya cause most artists are discovered on their first night playing out. [/sarcasm] lol The record companies take advantage of the current system as most artists know they only way they will get famous is by allowing the record companies to take their cut. Most groups or artists spend years trying to get the attention of someone to get them there, and its not cheap or easy to do that.
