Instruments and training are expensive, depending on what the musician 
plays.

But the MPAA doesn't invest in the creation of movies - much like the 
RIAA doesn't invest in the creation of music.  They just represent the 
people who do (ostensibly, arguably neither represents all artists, 
though they'd like to think so and act like they do).
