but I guess streamers jump on the fact I believe streaming doesn’t give artists a fair shake....all this rationalization...
Don't think that comment was ever made by anyone (except maybe by the CEO of spotify)
But how much do you think an artist get's from your 1 cd purchase? I don't think it's more than $1 and zero if it's bought used
when I buy a concert tix and merch, I'd say the artist probably gets $10, maybe more...maybe less...but of course, they had to work pretty hard for that $10
but even if the 15 people on this board bought 15 cds a month, still wouldn't even come close to the entire market/consumption has totally changed and artist have to figure out how to pry those greenbacks from your hands in new innovative ways...hopefully cutting out as many middlemen who grifted off that $15 CD purchase
I would think that there are a lot of 60s/70s/80s artists are making way more in the steaming economy than they would have if people were going to the record shop or they had to tour...but I don't have any stats to back that up
