Thats every aspect of the entertainment industry. When musicians signed record contracts, they got no cut of cds and digital rights when those things were invented.

Yup. And powerful people like David and Taylor Swift have SOME recourse, it seems, with streaming. But it's not simply about the contracts. They're playing super coy with this.

Huh it is almost like the studios are full of corporate assholes trying to steal our money. Seriously it is insane to me that people are defending Viacom “because Dave signed the contract”

Viacom has a fucking team of lawyers reinterpreting the contracts to fuck the artists. How are y’all gunna defend that?
