Further, in discussions about pirating copies of music, the practice is invariably defended on the grounds that the artists make their money from touring, rather thsn from record sales. If that's truly the case, then they have no excuse not to give 100% at every performance.

Sure, the language of ticket sales is structured to protect the venue and performer against any financial repercussions of playing a bad show, but that's just legalistic CYA. The artist should still be held to a standard of professionalism if he or she expects to get paid.
