    Here’s the stupid dumb secret:

    Nobody actually has to be the bad guy.

    The role of “bad guy” is just stealing.

    If nobody is in that role, then …

    … you don’t get your stuff stolen.

      I should have been more clear. I was referring to the service that TM provides to said venues and artists. Obviously they don’t really provide a real service for consumers

        Sure, but also:

        If you have a band,
        and someone says “I’ll be the bad guy for your band”
        … they’re just gonna be the bad guy.

        Your band isn’t actually gonna win anything.
        You’re just gonna have a bad guy in charge.

        Sometimes, when it looks like that guy is just a ripoff, it’s really because that guy is just a ripoff. There’s no upside. Really, that guy is just ripping you off. No secret, no bargain, no fooling. It’s really just money going into that guy’s pocket.
