    Always have been. We had a system where bands didn’t make as much as they humanly could because it was generally accepted that the art of live music wasn’t made just for the enjoyment of the highest bidders in society. And this is still largely true from most artists’ perspective. But they aren’t the one setting the prices anymore and profit maximizing, when playing in most medium-to-large venues in NA.
