Oh yea, they make 100% of the profit, so they only need to sell half the amount of records..

We are not neccasarily talking about NIN or RH. They are established and have money to experiment with new avenues of sales and distro. Good for them. What about the next potential NIN or RH who don't have the resources to "make it".

If your making 100% (which you never are, unless your selling out of the trunk of your car) of the profits but paying out twice or 3 times the amount to get your product out there, you'll be in the red in no time.
