When does an artist become "mega"?

Seriously though, FUCK the RIAA.
I back this notion 110%. Not only do they limit the profit the artists make, they actually steal from them and treat them like dirt, in a lot of cases. IT is completely unfair, and I have encouraged all of my musician friends to only allow music to be bought directly from them. They might not get the funding for massive stadium tours and promotions, but they also won;t be getting ripped off.
