Why would they be responsible for paying people way down the pipeline?

For example:

Joe Schmoe, Interscope recording artist, was influenced by Betty Binghoffer, who Joe Schmoe heard play at some dive bar. Well, Betty was influenced by her brother Bubba, and Bubba was influenced by an obscure self-released cassette he heard by the Lubbernids, and John from the Lubbernids was influenced by his mom Alicia, and Alicia was influenced by a homeless guy who used to hang out in front of McDonald's and sing, and so on.

Why is Joe Schmoe and his label responsible for paying the homeless guy and not Alice?
