>if i sell tshirts im a clothing company

not necessarily

someone who sells tshirts =/= a clothing company

i could put my name on a tshirt, no one will buy b/c i'm a nobody...and no one's gonna cop b/c american apparel t's fit them well if they can get a blank american apparel t for cheaper directly

it's the labor you put into music that gives your specific tshirts value
