This is how it should be, aside from the rare instances where the band owns the record label, bands make jack shit off of record sales. I dont care to pay record labels for an antiquated service and price fixing. Bands make money off of merch and ticket sales.

If you can't beat them, join them. Iron Maiden's a smart band, it's no mistake that they've been successful for so long. Great marketers, my guess is that they sell more merch than most bands. They're smart to go where the downloads are, legal or otherwise.
