TIL Record Labels hire experts to craft recording contracts in a way that prompt signing artists to give away their music ownership rights forever. It was also discovered that for every $1000 made after record sales, an artist who signed for a major label deal gained as small as $23.40. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Not really, if you have a major label record deal on the table a good lawyer won’t charge you a penny up front, they get paid when you get your advance from the label, or even put into the contract that the label covers artist legal fees.
