If they're making a profit then the product and distribution has been paid for by those with means, all costs have been covered, all employees, producers and suppliers have been paid an adequate and fair compensation for their contribution.

"adequate and fair compensation", I assume you are joking

[–] LemmysMum 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If it's not adequate and fair why is there a profit margin?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

because they use their bargaining power to pay something not even remotely close to what a rational person would consider fair, not even to those who actually produce what they market (I'm talking about musicians, film scriptwriters or software developers) and even more so all employees, producers and suppliers

Sounds like a problem. Maybe you should fix it.
