thieves and pirates

[tekara]

sorry to change the subject a bit, but now that we are on the topic of how little you make pressing records in vinyl format....

can someone tell me what is the difference in profits between releasing EPs and LPs via an online mp3 distribution company (ie; beatport/trackitdown), as opposed to physically manufacturing this stuff yourself?

I am actually curious what the business model is like for artists that choose to release their wax online instead of printing to the vinyl medium.....obviously I would assume you save less money on printing artwork, pressing the vinyl itself, mailing the final product by courier to the distributor........now that everything has shifted online, how has the business model changed?

Sorry for the hijack. I'm genuinely curious
