What data resources are currently available for seeing that kind of distribution? It's a fabulous idea, but I'm wondering where/how we could gather that kind of data for visualization. solved 17 Jan, 15:18 todrobbins |
http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/how-much-do-music-artists-earn-online/ From what I know about the music industry you (in the UK, via the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society) are entitled to 7.5% of the price of a CD / Vinyl when it is "mechanically" pressed. You also usually get 12.5 or so percent as a royalty on a sale (with a standard music contract). However, some labels have lower royalty rates, and some indie labels split 50:50. MP3s tend to sold as licences, so have a different royalty structure as well. solved 20 Jan, 16:01 Pat |
