This is where it breaks down. You don't get paid for your work unless someone
agrees to pay you.
Some people get hired to be a fisherman. Some people pay for the opportunity
to go out and fish. Some people just go out and fish. They may each put in
the same number of hours in a day.
"doing one thing for some time and having no time
to do something else
in the same time".
But they don't each get paid. Some actually pay. Some get paid. With some, no
money changes hands.
But, if you don't get hired to make music and ensure your pay before you make
the music. You can make it and hold on to it yourself until you get paid. If
it is difficult to do that, that is life in a free world. Asking for chains
to be put upon everyone else to make this easier for a musician is asking too
much. Especially when the chains already in place are so burdensome and yet
still not good enough.
all the best,
