Seems like a highly inflammatory headline to me.

Seems like they are paid according to the number of performers and the beverage sales their shows generate.

Many of the artists I know just love being given the opportunity to perform for the public. I wish the Villages would give them something extra for being village residents. Maybe have them announce the bands as being residents, "The Villages own...."

I know you know this. The Village Entertainment business was sold to the people who were running it for The Morses about four years ago. They in turn are paid by the merchants on the square.
