Hi Tony.
How many people buy an actually CD anymore vs. purchasing and downloading just the tunes you want from iTunes or where ever??? ...
The label gets paid either way for the sale so it makes no difference.
And why is it that anytime people are in a business to make a profit they are "greedy" and "fat cats" ... are we not all trying to get the top dollar for what we do?
No that's painting everyone with the same brush here, I'm talking about the music industry and their behaviour.
I don't know if you are aware of all they do but new artists get very bad deals, and the record labels cream the profits. Even forgetting that..... across the entire world they have been working with governments to roll out laws that make it legal for them to charge a little sweet shop for having a radio on, or charging hotels per room fees for allowing you to listen to your own radio in your room.
I could write a book on the shameless greedy little things the music industry has done to destroy their own business.
Just to give you a figure on artists, a typical Radio station has to pay 35 euro per song they play on the radio. The artist gets 30 cent of that and the label gets the rest.
Ouch... !!!!
James.
