Well, from what I am hearing and seeing, it doesn't have as much to do with author's/musicians still needing to eat as with the care and feeding of the "under-assistant West Coast promo man" and all of the other industry employees who can't seem to understand that they can no longer control distribution as was possible in the days of the LP. they need to expand their horizons and develop a new business model.
