Re: Article Concerning the Current State of Artisit Compensation

Interesting. Some loose notes:
  • In most cases the quality of the MP3 you get out of the internets is lower than what you get from a CD;
  • Many titles are not available for sale at any price;
  • A price tag of 40 € for a good prog-rock CD is not unusual;
  • Professional musicians I know get less than 1 € / per record sold, even those that sell over 10 000 copies per LP;
  • The quality of the music proped up by the media today is below the minimum treshold to appeal to an average human;
  • More than half of the CD I buy were recorded before I was born.

And finally: no internet download if free. All internet traffic implies a cash flow to an internet provider company.
