That's all profit for the record company. Do you know how much the artist makes off an album sale??? Unless you're a big time act, it's usually less than a dollar an album (and no, that's not each if its an actual band with 4 or 5 members, that's total.) That's why I loved Napster for forcing the evolution of cd sales. You notice, before Napster, a good price for a new cd was usually $16-18. Now, its down to about $10-12 because people found out that its cheaper for a guy on the street to produce a cd.
