The real profit goes to those that obtain these pieces of art (often times for free) and sell them.
From what I hear Manson never receives any money for the seemingly endless films/books out there claiming to detail his life. I wonder how much money Guns + Roses made as a result of covering "Look At Your Game Girl"? How much did Vincent B. bring in for "Helter Skelter"? People, often times those with next-to-no connections to these individuals, are the ones making serious profit. I think this has a lot to say about the society/world we live in. Most everyone finds this shit interesting in one way or another.
In others words, a Manson (or whoever else..) painting that goes for $700 dollars...he will likely see very little if any of that money. And even if he got all of it, what's he gonna spend it on? Stamps? A bag of chips? Maybe occasionally a bit of pot (which is a substance often "bartered" in the prison system as prisoners aren't really supposed to keep cash).

you know I like the gnr
I myself am very interested in crime shows murder stories the gruesomeness. For me it is a way of facing life's adversities. I know they aint got shit to spend on shit whatever shit they make, but I just don't give a fuck about money so someone else can have it. Creation of the hands of evil and he was one evil motherfucker. im not saying you do but alot of ppl assume that evil is genius and sometimes...alot of times it just is not. Simply human nature gone mad.
