most people never, ever make a red penny from playing music.


I meant in the context of a successful career with fame and lots of fans, you won't get that unless people are willing to pay for what you're offering.

Here is a report on the 2009 Special 301 Report from ustr.gov. I'm still researching this and will post links as they are found. It appears that Spain isn't the only country under attack.

Here is the actual report (in pdf) if anyone else cares to go through it. I'm going to read it in its entirety when i get a chance. TorrentFreak is notoriously biased on these issues and i want an objective perspective.

Yup, people who's first motive isn't money usually don't have anything worth buying.

I understand that it's tough to break into the music business, but there are shortcuts. I recommend TuneCore. They will help you sell your music on your terms and you get every red cent your music earns.

However, it's up to you to do the promotion. Make a MySpace/Facebook/whatever-you-can page for your band and upload a track for people to hear. Make a MakeTunes page and upload a few songs you think would help promote your music. Just get out and advertise shamelessly. Play every dirty biker bar that will allow you in. Do anything to get your music heard. Best of luck and thanks for the replies.
