personally, i couldn't afford to *not* have my lawyer onboard.
and, frankly, i believe that it's possible that the largest group 
(per-capita) of greedmongers, idiots, scumbags & thieves in the wider 
music 
industry are 'artists';
if we all had the sharp brains and steady ethics of *my* lawyer, the world 
would be a MUCH better place.
