It starts to look far less equitable the more electronic distribution comes into play.

What is the difference between the 2 iTunes 99c downloads? There is a LOT of difference in the revenue there.....

Do you mean the album & the single track one or the grey & pink chart.
The grey pie chart is the amount the record company get

As a CD buyer I am generating more revenue for the artists than tens of thousands of Spotify users.

Ah, I see that now.

IIRC cdbaby allow artists to upload directly to them without needing a record company to get involved.

That was what I thought, it was the bit that said "CDBaby via iTunes" that confused me there

They charge a fee per song you upload to store it on their servers & a yearly maintenance fee IIRC

Looking at the different methods I might change my buying to ensure the artist gets a higher revenue. Can we buy CDs from CDbaby?
