Weird Al still make most money from CD sales..

I am extremely grateful for your support, no matter which format you choose to legally obtain my music in, so you should do whatever makes the most sense for you personally. But since you ASKED… I actually do get significantly more money from CD sales, as opposed to downloads. This is the one thing about my renegotiated record contract that never made much sense to me. It costs the label NOTHING for somebody to download an album (no manufacturing costs, shipping, or really any overhead of any kind) and yet the artist (me) winds up making less from it. Go figure.

I find this pretty strange too, as the label has no costs at all after making the initial mp3/aac/wma versions. Maybe it’s because the labels are greedy buggers? Naaaah, can’t be.
