You know what pissing me off the most:
The artist who writes the song, and sings them, is only getting like 30% of all the records that are sold. the other 70% goes to the record company. and giving the fact the artist needs to promote his/her career to world, the artist must perfrom concert after concert. leaving him/her with a silly 10-12% of the money he/she gain from all the records that are sold.
The record company's claim that banning accounts on youtube will help out the artist in the end, but the artist still gets the same amout of money wheter or not those accounts got banned or not.
And there is a other *Hic* in this story:
If a artist manages to sell like 2 millon copies in a short period of time, you guys might think he/she will get rich right.
Well. NO
Because once a artist manages to sell 2 millon copies, the IRS kicks in, and demands that the artist pays like a 55% tax over all the copies that where sold over that short period of time.
Alot of artists got broke because of this, this sudden unfairness that makes me realy wonder if the artist is better off without his/her record company
The biggest probleem right now, is teh sheer fact that record company's have make those records way too expesvie for the kids on the block to buy it. alot of kids don't even bother to buy the real singel for like 5-7 dollars when they can download them on the internet for free. Last time i read that the sells for singels have done down the drain because everyone was downloading it.
But ask yourself this question: if there wasn't any downloading doing on, will the artist get better?
My answer is no, because the record company's still get like 70% of the sells make, the artist is still on his/her all time low. And there is something else those record company's forget:
Wherever they like it or not, Youtube did promote alot of artists, in ways that wheren't possiple, and i realy do believe that the artist got promoten way better over youtube than he/she got promoten by the record company.
I think that guys such as michiel jackson and jaymiriqe (i don't know how to spell his name) will have much better sells, if that promote thier stuff on youtube, instead of trusting sony records to do thier promotion.
So TBH, banning accounts is not gonna help the artist getting better. If the artist wants to get better, than the record company's must stop being greedy, and make those record bloody payable for everyone!!! because 5-7 for just only 3-4 songs is wayyyy too much!
Downloading and uploading will always happen, yes Mr record company's, i'm talking towards you guys. wellcome to 2008 guys, stop being greedy and adjust yourself.
Now going for some breakfast.
EDIT: there is also something i wanna add:
maybe your guys still remenber the copyright tread i posted right.About this big argement i had with a friend of mine, well he still will not agreed with what i think, but i realy just do not care about it. Because he was downloading stuff in the internet, so in fact :
He is just as *Evil* as i am uploading stuff on photobucket. He even admitted towards me about it:
Copyright is a good thing.. But wat amaze me the most is the fact that the artist doesn't own that copyright, it is owned by the record company . So TBH, i think the record company's are simpley missing the point here when they say they do this for the artist....
