i think i read somewhere that out of a £6 record, £3 goes to the shop, £1.20 goes to the artist and the other £1.80 goes to record label, cost of production/packaging etc. not a whole lot when you think about itAlba said:how much of the retail price actually gets into the artists pocket?

logikz said:thats not what ive heard, i read an interview with noisia saying that record sales are still plummeting because of the mp3. its true in the entire music buisness, and specially drum and bass.

I think it applies more to pop music than dnb
What's to say the people that download would buy the tune anyway?logikz said:theres really no need to proove it mark, because, who buys the cow when you can get the milk for free.
fuckin good point old chap!mesh said:In the early-mid 90s if I wanted jungle outside a club environs, I had to go and buy a mixtape from the local store, usually (always) mixed and distributed without proper authorisation/licensing. If I hadnt been able to this at the time (and thousands like me) you can bet your ass this music would not be the worldwide phenom, it is now.
