Most artists make their money from touring. Average for a big artist to make now is about a dollar per CD (then keeping in mind that only a couple of CDs now will hit a million during the first year, and that bands have to split the money, it's almost depressing thinking of it). That or releasing their music independently through mediums like itunes or amazon (third eye blind) to bypass having to pay their record label or even their own website where they take donations for their cds (radiohead). More sites will fall. Many have fallen and many more will. But for every pirate bay that goes down, another 2 piracy sites will appear. I don't really endorse piracy, but even I know that. x.o |
Thats total bullshit and was a stunt from radiohead. They released some low quality shit to the people that paid (and those that didnt) only to release the official album at retail and download in quality sound.
