Do record labels make crazy profit for the capital costs? Or are they one of those businesses where for every Taylor Swift getting screwed by not getting a fair percentage of the value of her earnings, are there 50 other artists who got a good size advance and never made any money?

I honestly don't know. I just think we have a tendency to only think about the successful artists when we evaluate the fairness of a contract.
