Consider that a musician - if they're VERY lucky gets about 7p per track. That track is sold for 79p or something. That 72p the industry takes steals a massive increase in sales from the creator if they are lucky enough not to have been robbed of their rights anyway.
http://www.bemuso.com/musicdiy/downloadcosts.html 79p track: 23p to the retailer (online) 5p distributor51p record label - to *share* with artist. How much they actually share is presumably down to individual contracts. If we accept the 7p per track that means the label gets 44p per track - just over 6 times what the artist receives.
