Does anyone believe that music available to consumers would be better overall if musicians received the lion's share of money spent on recorded music instead of the relative pittance they more typically receive? I don't really believe it.
I like the model where musicians make their money from touring and merchandise rather than royalties (the musical equivalent of coupon clipping).
Btw, if I wanted to reward my favorite artist beyond just attending a concert, do they generally make more money from the sale of a t-shirt or the sale of a CD at their merchandise table (assuming both were the same price)?
