Question - From a self promoting music artists point of view in the USA, is the RIAA 'our people' or are they "their people"?
(meaning the record companies)

Internationally, does an independent artist ever have anyone going into battle for them at a governmental level?

Does an independent artist WANT anyone going into battle for them at a governmental level?

Are the independent artists rights 'weak' due to lack of big business and commercial muscle power?

Does all the money of record labels actually 'buy' them anything of any real use on a legislative level? If so what? And will that always be out of reach for the independent artist or hold them back?

If money talks and BS walks, will the independent artist always be walking? Or is there a chance for them to be 'catching the bus' soon?
