What does a record company even do? Why do they have rights?

Basically they fund artists to record and then handle things like promotion.

Yo. I can be a record label. Come hang out in my apartment while I pay the bills and BAM! I get all the royalties!

Sounds like stealing with extra steps. Actually it sounds like just being rewarded for having money to begin with.
