> raw cost of disc + artwork is $3 > band or label sells it to distributor for $6 > distributor sells it to store for $10 > store sells it to you for $16-$20 > > why is that so hard to grasp? That part of it isn't. (And actually, it is possible to get CD + Art for around 1.20, and thats just for 1000 cds) If the band or label sells it for 6 bux, then why do they still sell it to consumers (via direct order) for 16-20? There's no real shame in admitting the artists are in it partly for the money. It doesn't minimize the art of it, if there is an art in it to begin with. It goes back to the saying...'If it's worth doing...it's worth doing for money" If I do a thing and I feel that it is a worthwhile thing and that my time is something that should be compensated, of course I would like to have a little more to show than spiritual reward (or rather the adoration of the people who like the way I do the thing).
