Downloading music gets easier?

[Jane Doe]

There's a band up here in the great anti-american bastion that is Canada's province of Quebec that is known as "Les Cowboys Fringants". They one day sent a demo to music label companies for a contract, but got turned down, so they marketed their album on the internet as free downloads on kazaa and such. Some months later, those same major labels came back crawling before them.
Now they perform in sold-out arenas full of file-sharers, not only in Quebec, but also in Europe. They actually played in front of 250,000 happy hooligans on the 24th of june last year for the st-john-the-baptist day.

Now, isn't that the dream of every musician out there?!

As a genuine question, just how much does the artist gets on average from the sale of a 25$can CD.

"Of course Canada, a socialist country harboring terrorists, would have a judge corrupt enough to *not* allow the law to break down the doors (and backs) of pirates. The whole country is a cesspool of leftist anti-american pot smoking jocks. Half their salaries taxed and for what? Medicare, Infrastructure, Social Programs, and Freedom? Give me some good old fashioned blatant class differences based on race any day of the week. We need to buckle down and attack these northern communists ASAP. Axis of evil anyone? Downloading music is the first step to the downfall of America, we must stop them at all costs. I have a gun and i'm on my way!"[8|]

Started off mad, got furious, began to think, laughed my ass off
