btw if you bought the downloaded version and then bought the full album radio head had a refund program (to deal with the pissed off fans).
Cutting the record company out made them way more money. |
They may have grabbed 6 million but they pissed off A LOT of their fans while doing it.
Thank you captain obvious.. YES cutting out the record company netted them more money.. But it didn't help the fact that 60% of their "fans" steal their music.
Imagine how much they would profit if they cut out the record company AND 80% of their fans paid for the albums?
