I do absolutely acknowledge that performance and merchandising are huge aspects of an artist's income. I never meant to imply any different. But if you're an independent artist, or just trying to get started and your album is stolen, it can sink your career - or at least deal it a serious set-back. It kind of kills your chance to maybe organize a tour, or to design and market your merchandise.
