I'm at school for this shit so I'm going to rant. Anyone, who thinks that a band makes money off a purchase of their album from anyway other than directly from the band has a lot to learn about the business. Unless a band is selling 10,000+ records the band see's NOTHING from royalties (I'm sure someones going to find a counterpoint to this but you get the idea) and the numbers are even higher for major labels. There's fundamentally no point of purchasing unless you want to support that label or the store. Over 51% of music acquired is downloaded illegally and record labels are just start to catch on.

Record labels are still trying to get as much out of the 60 year old business model of a hard copy unit. I'm sure most labels are going to more so put out albums by digital download within the next ten years which means I won't be supporting them whatsoever.

DOWNLOAD MUSIC AND GO TO SHOWS/BUY MERCH.
