Crime is rampant world wide in all aspects of life. Even in tow truck business in Toronto where people are getting killed over who controls certain areas. Some businesses have to pay fees to gangs so they will not firebomb their place of business. So I guess it is no wonder it is so prevalent in music. Music means big money so criminals are going to be there big time. The smallest guy in the industry is the easiest guy to rob from. He/she has very little clout, if they with draw their services, there are thousands more to take their place, they may not be near as good, but it does not seem to matter. The world needs music, the quality be dammed, if a person is hungry enough he will eat out of a garbage can.
