I just use iTunes. I don't mind supporting the artists I like

For the lazy:

"Of this, major label artists will end up with only 8 to 14 cents per song, depending on their contract. Many of them will never Artists Get Ripped Off. even see this paltry share because they have to pay for producers and recording costs, both of which can be enormous. Until the musician "recoups" these costs, when you buy an iTunes song, the label gives them nothing."

It's the same way with hard copies. Artists don't make their money selling albums. They make it touring. How many of them do you think would do any touring at all if that wasn't where most of their money came from?
