Re: Does File-Sharing Really Hurt Bands?

Smart mom not so bright really... I'm an independent artist, and really you can't believe what people are saying. Downloading does hurt musicians. If I produce and duplicate my albums myself, but stores won't buy it because they know it can be had online for free I won't sell albums. Big companies are making lots of money anyway, but the little guys are getting crushed. Album sales are 10% of what they used to be... and to say that artists make most of their money in concerts in untrue. We make money with monthly cds sales, and concert cd sales. Concerts often don't make that much either because crowds aren't willing to always come out. Its a much larger economic problem.
