If you think about it... Lets take for example one band...
The Fray
almost 30 million plays....
You know how much they got paid for it?
Zero...
You know how much myspace made off of it...
about 650,000.00 dollars...
Wow...
Seems like to me this is an unfair imbalance...
Just my two cents... |
Me wondering how this was figured too?
But even if myspace was obviously making $$$ off advertising and a band like The Fray increases those revenues, think of the hundreds of thousands of bands that have very little play and site traffic....I bet the advertising revenue for those low traffic pages doesn't cover the costs myspace endures. Not to mention all the non-music myspace pages....which I'm guessing there are millions of personal myspace pages that have very little traffic.
And the final thought: If The Fray thought it was an unfair balance, they could just remove their page. But my guess is the Fray is in an even more imbalanced situation---a Record contract....which probably requires them to have and maintain a myspace page.
