They made more money then they would have ever had made through a record label. I think this is actually kind of a groundbreaking thing. Established artists usually don't make much money from their records unless they sell a ton of records. They make most of their money through touring and selling stuff at their shows like shirts and posters and stuff like that. Other bands like Oasis have already said they will be doing the same thing and I think more and more established artist will be doing it. Once they have built up a fan base they have little use for the record labels and this way they can get the cash right in their pocket and still cash in on their tours.
