I wonder how much money Rage Against The Machine has made off the Che Guevara image?

Probably too much to count...I am not a big fan of those guys, total hypocrites in my book. All about the money for those fellas now...unless they funded some covert revolutions with all of that loot that I was not aware of. Nah, I think they just bought pimped out Escalades and stuff...

Enough to fund an uprising in Bolivia.
Revolutionaries on Sony/Epic? Fight the Pow...uh..er?
I don't know enough about their personal lives to comment on what they do or dont do with the money..... but I love the music.
Can't fault em for being on a major label though, if you want to reach the maximum amount of people you have to play the game sometimes. This is a business, and no matter what many artists will say publicly...they want to make money
well i don't know what they do with their money
but most of the Che stuff i've seen is not directly RATM "merchandise"
i'd say that with their standing...any excess spending would be highly publicized I'm sure...so if they got caviar and mansions and shit...they are keepin it on lock down
the argument for being on a major label was always that is gave their music/message more exposure.....and Morello has stated that Epic never attempted to alter or censor that music or message or they would have bolted
From The Guardian:
"Aleida Guevara this week denounced the commercialisation of her father's image as an affront to his socialist ideals. "Something that bothers me now is the appropriation of the figure of Che that has been used to make enemies from different classes. It's embarrassing."
