Newspaper all over the world are full of headlines how greedy Radiohead fans are, one third of them paying nothing for downloads and pushing the average album revenue down to £4 (while ‘normal’ CD prices are around £10, or a full iTunes download would cost £7 or £8). From a CD or iTunes sale, artists get some 12 % to 16 % (according to zoom in online) — i.e. £1.20 … £1.60 (while one source claims, Radiohead would make £3 from selling a CD). £4 is roughly three times £1.20. Greedy fans? I’d say: generous.
