Sloppy That Copycat

i’ve been in the music industry for over 15 years.  just saw a facebook ad that basically followed this tired marketing tease — “do you like (insert known musical act here), then you’re gonna love (insert unknown musical act here).” um, why don’t i just listen to the orginators a little while longer and pass on the copycats? shouldn’t there be payments made to the original act each time someone leverages their brand for their benefit? obviously, the original created something of such great value that we are still talking about them today, using their music as muse, pointing to them to help sell records, etc. if there is something in play that i’m overlooking, then please let me know.
