The Allman Brothers Band and Cheap Trick claim that their label, Sony Music, isn’t paying them what they’re owed in royalties for songs bought on iTunes. They’re getting 4.5 cents, rather than the 30 cents they believe they’re owed.
What a Suprise: Musicians Claim Label Is Cheating Them Out Of iTunes Royalties

We can all send a very powerful message to these greedy b*stards. Just STOP BUYING MUSIC. Period
The record label steal from artists and now they want MORE. They want to steal by force from the consumers hence RIAA going after everyone.
This is plain stupid the RIAA needs to change.
Investors are the ones to blame stock holders are almost always overly rich people with nothing better to do with their money. They piggy back on the backs of people with a vision only to suck all the money from ones life long dream.
This is EXACTLY what the record companies actually do to their artists…THEY STEAL FROM THEM! And they want to claim that P2Pers are crooks? They need to take a good look in the mirror! Then they say that they are for the artists? If that is what they call being for the artist I would liken it to the old saying…”with friends like that…who needs enemies”?
4.5 cents per 99 cent paid by the customer?! What the heck is that?
I love cheap trick
Its very weird that the recording companies produce physical copies so this is all PURE profit yet too cheap to give to cheap trick.. What a cheap trick.
I suspect there will be huge repercussions fines and mainstream media coverage of this!
NOT!
must be fun being the man.
