youre missing the point.

RECORDED music is not making money. People with enough fans will have no problem making money when they can rent an arena to play in. or even smaller club venues.

But songwriters, and people who help make a record come into being dont. Neither do artists who have limited live shows

If CD baby had to rely on the income the music they distribute alone, they would have sunk along time ago, but they were smart, they make you pay to release your music.
