As for how much bands make from album sales... close to nothing. Most get ~ $.09-$.13 per album sold. That's cents, not dollars... There are always some exceptions, like Sub-pop records, where Death Cab for Cutie and Hot Hot Heat originated. They made more money through more honest indie labels, but the lure of the big labels always reels in the musicians because of the draw of fame. To be honest, if they ever come after me, I'm moving to China, because I'll be damned if they'll ever be able to find me there...
