Dane is dropping real music business knowledge on you ****s.
The people making the real money in the music business are behind the scenes.
It's rare for acts to be profitable anymore.
A lot of the transition has been self-inflicted. The RIAA ****ed themselves by not embracing electronic platforms earlier. Music used to dominate peoples' entertainment "wallet". Now music competes with video games, youtube, movies, tv, etc.
Edit: Also, pricing. The industry ****ed themselves by not making albums cheaper as production methods got cheaper.
