Although, some people think that buy CDs help to artist or the music listening experience is more enjoyable, but equally they buy music for internet and do use CDs for…

For a $9.99 download, the artist receives 94 CENTS, the record company receives $5.35, and iTunes receives $3.70. For every song downloaded, the artist gets NINE CENTS. They put in so much work only to earn nine cents. As the average minimum wage in the United States is currently $1,071.20 a month, the average artist needs to…
