itunes and all digital download sites like it are ripping off artists. its not itunes fault. its the way royalties are divided that means artists don't get enough money. on digital downloads artists are still charged royalties on packing, shipment and all the other things that are usually involved with selling CDs. but its a download, it doesn't need packaging etc. this really needs to be addressed by the music industry.
