Comment Oh that's why the hate mp3's! (Score 1) 369
Well that's deservant. I was hoping that we could some how see where they put all this money they say they are losing from people DLing mp3's.
It's funny that they still claim a profit in the midst of all this DLing. I fact in a German study they said that 53% of people DL music and 67% of those people said that they bought the album because they DLed it first.
Well it's only right that the promoters get their share of the money. Not that I personally think $250K is how much it should cost to start a song down the singles road. It's just another thing for the music industry to bitch about.
Music industry: "I'm a 500 Billion dollar a year industry."
Radio & Promotion: "We'd like to help you to sell some of those CD's. It'll be $250,000 to get one song started."
Music Industry: "You mean I have to pay you? This album has the potential of selling Platinum and you want $250,000 to help out? That means I only make 2 Billion off this album. Don't you think $250000 is a bit too much?"
