How Labels And Artists Divvy Up Your Dollar Online 513
Subliminal Fusion writes "Business 2.0 has an article that breaks down where that $1 goes when you buy a song from iTunes or other online music services. Key figures: the site takes .40, the labels take .30 and the artists get a measly 12 cents for each download."

I don't get anywhere near 12% of what my employer is raking in for all the software that I write.
If I did, I would see about hiring an assistant.

If you're a rapper and you're reading slashdot at 11:30PM on a Saturday, chances are you don't have to worry about making it big.

1 = 2? (Score:1, Funny)
y = 1
x = y
x^2 = xy
x^2 - y^2 = xy - y^2
(x + y)(x - y) = y(x - y)
x + y = y
2 = 1
Woops! Maybe you should just relax a bit.
Now, if you want to get really picky.....some branches of mathemathics do not consider the statement 1 = 2 to be the same as 2 = 1. Just because you live in a world limited by "Principia Mathematica" does not mean that we all do.
Eh, maybe I should relax a bit too...
