As far as I know bands get pennies off each album sale granted it adds up most the money goes into the marketing of the album and the production followed by the rest going into the pockets of the record company's.
I don't see file sharing as a bad thing for artist to be honest, I'm broke I wont buy music and I never will its a bullshit expense in my opinion. Most artist money (From what I know) Comes from shows, I go to shows I support the bands. I couldn't support them if I didn't download their music to see if they interest me.
Shows aren't cheap in general and most the time I have to travel my ass off to go to one (4 bucks a gallon) ontop of ridiculously high ticket prices BUT don't artist make most their money off the shows? I see this as more support than buying an Album and I don't mind shelling out 50-100 bucks for a night of entertainment.
What I wander is wouldn't a real artist, someone who really truly cares about the music just be happy that they are being heard? I know everyone needs to make a buck but what ever happened to passion for your art? *Cough* Metalica *Cough*
