RIAA, who really is losing the money??
I keep on hearing that the Artists are the ones loosing money,
I thought that most of the artists makes like .10 per sale? Don't most groups make money from tours and other promo's? music sharing seems like free advertising to me. Just like DJ's selling mixtapes, the artists don't get any money from them do they? If anyone should be the blame, its companies that make products that make it easier to make MP3's Hell i own a Sony CD burner, RIO player, and Kenwood MP3 car stereo, If i didn't have these there wouldn't really be a point to download music |

$0.10 ?? and how much the record label is doing ? Should be about the same for established artist minus publicity and video clips... $15 millions revenue for 1 million in sale.. minus $500k per clip x 3... $4 millions in ads... $1 million to produce the album.. $8,5 millions divided by 2 = $4.25 millions which makes $4.25 per $15 CD sales.... for the artists... Just guessing the numbers here... but im pretty sure its at least $1 per CD.. for fairly known artists... |

Yeah MP3 decks kinda make buying a CD pointless. Why buy CDs when you can download music and then fit 100s of songs onto a cd you burn? ( Not to mention weed out the shitty tracks off a CD )

Artist royalties usually range from 10% to 25% of the suggested retail price for top-line albums, with deductions being made for packaging costs. For example, if a songwriter/artist has a 16% royalty, a 25% packaging deduction, and sells one million CDs in the U.S. of a $17 suggested-retail-priced album, the basic calculations would look like this:
$17.00 CD - $4.25 Packaging Deduction _______________ $12.75 Royalty Base x 16% Royalty Rate _______________ $2.04 Artist Royalty x 1,000,000 Units _______________ $2,000,000 + in Income The big money is in publishing rights and owning a catalog of songs.

The artists who are making a few dollars per album sold are the independant artists. For them MP3 is free advertising.
