Okay. That's actually really fucking funny to me.

Bandcamp has made me a couple bucks even despite the fact that it is just full of covers. I'm not sure how comfortable I feel with that (I put the 'free download' button there for a reason) but my point is that it works.

I found this article on the PRS here in Britain has a pretty amusing quote in it.

Quote from: some 20 year old who doesn't pay for music anymore
"Artists make a lot of money from tours, sponsorships. They get free mobile phones so I don't feel bad."

Hey, I know some of you write songs, is it true?

I think through 3 separate harshnoise releases, I made approximately 9 dollars. And one person bought the EP twice to bolster my sales.
