It'll mean big record companies will have to start giving out Master P type deals where the artists makes more off CDs than the execs do, and they won't like that. If rock groups follow, maybe it'll reconstruct the whole music industry as we know it and we won't be force fed crap 24/7.
...they'll have to get side jobs at thier local Burger King's like your favourite indy artists of today.
Indie artists make a lot of money. Royce says he gets between $5-$8 an album. If you sell 50,000 records at $6 a pop, you'll make $300,000. I'm sure half of that goes to featured artists, producers, and for promotion, but that means you'd still be pulling in $150,000. It's nothing astonishing, but it's more than most people make a year.

How much money do artists recive per album non independent labels?
Quote from: Dat Nigga Ted aka Eri-Jordan on November 12, 2005, 02:43:46 PMHow much money do artists recive per album non independent labels?About $2 or $3. Groups tend to make $3 while solo artists make $2. That's why it's so important to hit platinum status because the artists doesn't really make any money before that mark.
