Peter Frampton: 55 million streams and I got paid $1700

I promise, you are in the minority on this one. Music cannot be protected from sharing in today's internet world. If musicians want to be filthy rich, they need to adjust their business model. You saying that is like saying, smartphones are the worst thing for news I have ever seen. I won't touch news on websites (and read my newspapers instead).
This is only one person but Alice Cooper has said that he doesn't care if people download(pirate) his music so long as they are listening to it. He also saved all his money. He says he's still living off the money he made from the Welcome To My Nightmare tour.
