Aside from the fact that I'm not sure what your hybdrid "Neo-chadnezzar" name is really supposed to mean, there's two inherent thing wrong with your new name.
1) The obvious: Neo literally means new, not one. Take the next step and your name now becomes "new protects the crown".
2) Not so obvious: Both words/name meanings are derived from completely different languages. "Nebuchadnezzar" is Akkadian in origin and "Neo" is Greek in origin.
If they can't sell any albums, no one's going to pay to promote their music.
I think you've got this part reversed...Think of the musicians that get heard on the radio. Album sales for young/new artists are generated through media exposure. The only reason they're even in the media in the first place is because somebody paid to put them there in the first place (it's called payola). The call came down from on high that 'insert fave NU-Metal band or pop star' is going to be the next big thing and *boom* instant promotion --> instant record sales.
So No, I don't agree with you theory that "pirating" or trading corporate albums leads to no one seeing them in concert. I've actually gone to quite a number of shows by bands whose album I don't own, but have mp3s of. One last thing, for the bands that can't fill up large halls and arenas most of their performance money actually comes from T-Shirts, Stickers, and CDs sold at the show (that's a large reason why they cost so freakin' much).
For some reason this movie about an eccentric guy working on a really hard project/algorithm only to completely flip out in the end and give himself a lobotomy with a cordless drill seems to ring fairly true to the overall programming experience.
