I think most peoples' problem is that they expect artists to write/record/perform/give out music for free, or just enough to recover their costs? We have to eat and survive as well you know. Why the hell should we spend years and years if not our whole lives perfecting our art, our passion, only for people to tell us that they're not willing to pay for the end result?
Of course bands and artists do it for money and profit. That's the joy of it. Making a living from something you love doing. If there was no money in music, there would be no artists as everybody would be working in an office somewhere trying to make a living.
I'm sure everybody here would do anything to make a living from the thing they enjoy most. For some that probably includes being paid to sit at home in front of a computer with a bucket of KitKats mouthing off at prepubescent teenagers.
