What other avenues to have with no $ to spend? They need the muscle and money to really push thier marketing to all potential corners. Who cares if you band makes 90% profit off a .99 download. That won't even buy new strings for you guitar.
If their track gets bought by 1 million people it will. Also this signals the return of the touring band. Without tours you won't be able to make the serious money.. Which is good for me, I like concerts.
