Actually, recording artist are making very little off cd sales. Most of them make their money from touring. Here is an example:
A very famous recording artist, let say the Rolling Stones will probably get 15 points out of 100. That's only 15% of sales. Now a mid-level band will be lucky to get about 5 points. That means 95% of the money go to the record label, and 5% go to the recording artist. Why do you think a lot of bands and artist don't mind when their fans download their music, they're not getting much anyway. This example might be totally wrong, but that is because i just got back from a wine tour and we stop in aobut 14 wine farms and had wine tasting. Oh the joy of being out of work but having dollars in South Africa.
