In a bizarre twist of legal ramblings, it would seem that the digital music industry wants royalties paid to songwriters to be lowered to 8% of the wholesale revenue, despite the obvious fact that without the songs these guys write they would have no business whatsoever.
It was surprising to see the margin request hit 8% when I was already rather disgusted with an apparently generous presumption that this rate was currently somewhere around 30%.
Hurray for not owning the rights to the music YOU make.
I buy T-shirts and go to concerts to support the bands I like. But when I have money I actually do buy CDs. They're too expensive though.
