When you 'buy' an album from eMusic, are the artists compensated? I get so much from that site, but wonder if I should buy a CD from the artist when I see him/her/they play. Don't make fun, these are mostly small bands that may just be scraping by, and it's important to me that I compensate them for the joy they bring me!
eMusic question
It varies per artist and record label, but in this thread, one artist here on the board said he gets about $.25 per song downloaded.
I don't know if that's more or less than buying a CD, except to say that the best way to put money in an artists pocket when buying a CD is to buy it directly from them at a show.
