“Don’t bite the hand that feeds you” as the saying goes. And essentially it’s true, unless you’re signed to a record label. I’ve heard nightmarish stories of groups such as Boney M and certain others (Small Faces I think) not getting a dime for their work because of a dodgy contract.
Now I could be wrong here with the history etc. but if it is true about bands getting not very much and/or getting screwed, no wonder bands like Radiohead are starting to do exactly this, screwing their record companies. Getting a full cut of what they should courtesy of t’interweb. And here is the article:
Radio head offers new album
Good on you lads. I know I’d pay good money for groups I like, I already do. Maybe its time for record companies to start changing their business models rather than suing people and screwing their bands.
