Whether the infographic is exactly correct may be debatable, but what it looks to expose is on point. Nowaday, artist should be maintaining a strong website presence of their own, or dealing with very small independent labels, offering a larger split of the pie.

what’s the point in all the rules,regulations,and financial ups and downs of any middle man? Blogs are the real paradise for artist of all sorts, beyond even Facebook.

Thanks Mike

It also doesn’t indicate the amount of payola money the record companies have given to radio stations to bribe them to pay their music.

I’m afraid this graphic is based on an entirely false premise.
