The artist gets 100% of the sale price to help recoup the productions costs, which they themselves have usually paid these days, and the poor graphic designer who did the CD art actually gets their work seen! Although the world doesnt need more plastic discs in its ecosphere, the streaming model represents death to the income of even huge artists. I imagine many of you have seen this info-graphic (ugh!) but if not, it tells the story of this pretty vividly: http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/how-much-do-music-artists-earn-online/ Dave On Feb 4, 2014, at 6:41 AM, Bob.Muller@Fluor.com wrote: > Hi Jim, > > Not sure if your area has any non-Big-Box stores, local record stores, > etc. Here in Greenville we still have 3-4 which is pretty unusual.
