the average cut for an album is 95-5...that's 95% to the record company and 5% to the artist...now this is before the company finds a way to get the other 5% from the band (ie, videos, advances, etc) a lot of artist end up loosing money to the record company (TLC, Goo Goo Dolls to name a few). I have no problem sharing files because if i like a band i go see them live and say screw the record company. The money from shows is the only money the the record company can't touch.
