Really I prefer buying CDs at shows. Artists usually get to buy CDs from their own labels for $1 each, where if you buy it on Amazon/iTunes, they have to pay their label back for the recording costs, so they get like $0 until they hit some number (usually a few thousand). So if I buy a CD for $12, they're probably getting at least $10 of that.
- Semaphor 9y agoTo be fair, most bands I but from don't have the "problem" of having a label to worry about ;)
- Libturd 9y agoomg so hip!!!
- thirdsun 9y agoI'm so tired of this evil label narrative. It's unfair to reduce them to those 5 major labels. Particularly on Bandcamp there are countless small, honest labels that act as a curator and really help to develop their artists while taking a fair cut. Being featured on one of them is a huge opportunity for most artists.
