This article: Courtney Love does the math is a pretty accurate (from what I know) description of the record industry of america (and record industries in general). My brothers (peter & daniel) have had some business with recording industries, and they seem to get just as screwed by them as any one else.
This year has seen the first non-signed download charting single, hopefully people like my bros and other artists can stuff the record industry and distribute their own content, and then actually get what they pay for. It’s criminal that artists are charged for everything they do, and in essence the RI don’t pay any costs and get 80-90% of the money comming in. So 0% of costs, 0% work, == 90% profit???? Crazy maths.
Read the article it’s pretty well put (although the odd F word), and seems that Courtney Love is going to try and kick up a stink as she’s being sued for basically leaving a job at the end of her contract..
America, land of the free – if you have the money to pay for it..
