Re: No worries... said by IT Guy:Makes you wonder what is taking them so long to realize that going independent is better, especially for well established artists. If the lesser-known artists are able to do so and still make a profit without the middle man(and for some, I'm sure it's a good profit) , why haven't the well-known artists following suit? BTW, independents can't get any ASCAP/RIAA royalties. Since labels get royalties based on charts and selling volumes. Indie artists can never get any royalities that were paid for radio broadcast or record store selling since they don't have enough volume to qualify to get money from the "clearing houses". Also the clearing houses are mandated by the US Govt. So basically, most artists will never see 1 penny from royalties. |
