Re: Greedy business...

I wonder how much of that money will actually make it to the artists who actually make the music, rather than going to the RIAA who does, imho, absolutely nothing worthwhile.

The other day, I went and bought some CD's. I haven't done that in a few years. But, these were groups I really appreciate for making music. Not the 'one song on the CD I like' type, but the ones I can put the CD in my player and let it roll.

It's decisions like this that only affirm the idea of the RIAA supporting it's own ass. It seems they'll do anything to put a buck in their pocket while taking it from others who aren't making more than what would buy a happy meal at Mickey D's.

None of it goes to the artists except in precious few "superstar" situations where the artist managed to write their own contract terms. The vast majority goes directly to the "big five" record companies.
