Because the band sees an incredibly small fraction of the price you pay for a CD.
- patio11 18y agoThe programmer sees an incredibly small fraction of the price I pay for videogames, and that never bothered me either. I know the general "I support the band but hate the big megacorp behind it" is popular in some places on the Internet, but at least here, I can come out and say "I don't think the people who provide capital and marketing are parasites".
- abstractbill 18y agoI don't "hate the big megacorp" at all. I just think it's no longer necessary.
- jeroen 18y agoThat same band still chooses to work with the big labels. I might not buy cd's as a protest against the way the labels behave, but I don't see the need to protect the bands from the labels. If the bands don't like to work with the labels, then they can refrain from doing so and sell their music themselves.
