Ok so let's use those numbers so 400,000 downloads now at 4/1000 is $1600 on Megaupload.
Still using 10,000 sold (40x less bought instead of downloaded) as a base number x $10 paid per album is $100,000 total. The artist gets $23.40 per $1000 sold so 2.34%. That is $2340.
Honestly, it looks like both ways they are being screwed. File lockers also routinely screw over their own affiliates, as well, plus there is no way to truly ensure their download tracking or country filter is working.
I can see why you would be behind kickstarter and direct distribution, however I don't understand why you would advocate for megaupload.
