This is Funny, in a Very Sad Way

It appears that musicians are disappointed that they haven't seen any money as a result of the royalty deals that Youtube cut with the RIAA.

They are expecting to get some money out of their record distributors?

What are they smoking????

Oh...Yeah...They are rock and rollers....That's what they are smoking.

Seriously though, the RIAA does not, and has no interest in, raising money for the artists. They represent the record distributors, who make money by shafting the artists.
