  Making movies is much harder than music, which is why I appreciate movies
more.

  Being a musician is a real job, but it doesn't deserve special protection
which nobody else has.

  For example, someone who composes and directs the soundtrack for a movie
*is* making a real job, and is earning his money directly from what he is
doing (he gets part of the movie's budget in order to do his job).

  Someone who composes music for a videogame is making a real job, making
his part of the whole, and getting a salary for it.

  But why does he deserve a stronger protection than the other people
creating the movie or the videogame?

  You still don't understand the concept of priorities, don't you?
