Any eMusic users?

Did you know that if you have a credit balance at the end of your 30 subscription that they TAKE this money and reset it to the amount you pay for the new month? If you have several dollars left, then that money just is robbed from your account and kept by them. For what? A big fat nothing for you and a big fat wallet for them.

I had $5 left over from last month. The dirty lowdown dogs just took it and kept it! After I found it missing, I then found in their terms of service that they openly admit to this practice. They are thieves no matter how you slice it!

I don't use eMusic. They pay the artists less, too.

True, but the artists and labels know this when they license the music for use there. The artist only gets a percentage from the label or directly from eMusic if they have licenced the music themselves. You don't HAVE to sell your music there.

Maybe I've to try this again.
Downloading music and pay for it and don't get the songs wasn't nice.

Do many artists actually make any money off of music sales anymore anyway? I thought most bands (assuming they have a large enough following) make more money touring.

Even mainstream bands have to sell stuff like tshirts to make any money. Usually any money made from ticket sales goes back into touring expenses

I wouldn't sell there nor do I buy there. Win, win. The artists are already getting shortchanged enough no sense in helping that along.
