    Burn the CDs, see the show and buy a T-Shirt, the artist will get a much greater percentage of your money.

    Record Labels and distributors get something like 90% of CD revenue.

    If you think it's a myth, check out this article by Steve Albini. In case you don't know who he is, Albini is a career musician who, among his other accomplishments, produced at least one Nirvana album.

    Make sure to check out his royalty breakdown at the bottom, based on his experience working in the record industry. It's pretty interesting stuff.
