They make their money from concerts, merchandise, and publishing. The only ones that benefit from cd sales are the greedy music labels who rip off the artists to get rich. You should try educating yourself before preaching to the masses

hey bootlegging is great if you are not in the music business. Hell, I love it, but it knocked both my parents out of jobs with their respected record labels. Well, they both quit but, less money is a reason.
