Stories like this don't really affect us much because I doubt any of us are at this level but it sure sounds bad. It just reinforces what many of us have been saying for years. The money is in touring, not record sales and touring can really suck for lots of reasons.

One question I've been wondering about for a while now is what's the definition of an album "sale"? It used to be a physical record or CD, do they still mean that or is a sale considered a paid download of an entire album or what?
