I agree that the record companies shouldn't get the percentage that they do.
The record company may put the album out, and deserve a considerable return on their investment, but the artist creates the music, and that's where the lions share should go.
The record companies are just money men.
But why punish the artist for the way the music industry works?
If you like the artists work, they deserve the recognition of decent album sales, and the money that goes in their pocket. |
Oh, I agree- I don't think it's justification for downloading. I pay for officially released music/ movies.
