You only read the negatives.

Change for the + comes from debate.
Yesmen make nothing for the future.

This thread, has pretty much been a proper debate, questions and solutions are being offered as far as I can read.
Those that fear debate need not take part.

As for my own personal investment.
What does my revenue invested have anything to do with?
I helped and am still involved in Club TED.
An event that only books live pa`s of across the board dance music.
About 70% of the pa`s that we book have been producers who have wanted to play live but didn`t know how.
I tutored them in live pa, then we booked them in TED and most are now gigging all over the shop doing live pa`s in their respective fields.
I still tutor people on live pa`s and am now investing a lot of time to become an ableton certified trainer so I can continue to run pa workshops, and hopefully by the end of year, I will also be doing production workshops around europe.

I`ve had many producers also in my studio for production sessions and offer an open door policy to people I speak to, to come down and stay at my place for a few days to run their tracks and get mix advice assistance and tutoring.

If they can travel to my place the rest is free.

I am in fact mastering the BOA Noise Network label for free and have just finished it today.

Also with my friend Steve, who you yourself know, a legal expert in music copyright and media in general, I put people to him as he offers pro bono advice and help with music legal matters. As well as helping people out with basics such as dealing with distributers, manufacture etc

We also via the level-1 network offer free radio broadcast services, in-club live broadcast services and much more.

I do as much as I can whilst still doing my own thing, to answer your question.

Of course everything I do is very very negative and contributes nothing to anything.
