i don't really care to be getting into this fight ya'll are seemingly super content with having here, but i hate seeing people run with bad information.
there is a lot of misinformation happening here about how the music business works and that is cool, most of the people in the business don't understand it either. i am rather surprised that no one has linked the essay that steve albini wrote circa 1832 about record label math, so here you go.
now granted, it is a little dated and there isn't a single mention of mp3's, downloads, or twitter, but i think it can shed some light on a few things.
