Just Pennies Per Download
Aug 27th, 2003 | By Joe Taylor Jr. | Category: News
There’s a masterful parody of the iTunes marketing from the folks behind Downhill Battle. True, artists on major labels only get a few pennies per download. Crappy physical goods deal begets crappy digital goods deal. But instead of encouraging folks to just download songs for free, why not encourage artists to focus on releasing tracks on their own label? That way, artists get all 65 cents!
