================================================ Subject: Re: NCR - A great way for bands to give fans incentives to buy instead of download music From: "Keith Mears" To: Date: Sat 16 Jun 2001 22:34:55 -0500 ================================================ Concerning the amount a band gets of each album sold, that is something that varies for EVERY band, and has to do with what they agree to in their contracts (much like an actor getting a certain percentage of the gross from a movie). Obviuosly, a band that sells millions of copies, and has done so for a number of years, has a much better chance of getting more in the way of royalties, although finding out what any band actually gets from album sales would probably be like pulling teeth! As far as the price of CD's coming down, that IS the fault of the big labels, and more directly, the federal government, which has failed to force the labels to bring down the price, basically allowing a monopoly to go unchecked. However, according to articles I read earlier this year, it appears the feds may finally be getting ready to take action and end this situation.
