They make far more when you buy a CD

Who the hell still listens to CD's? Lets take a look at how much money they were making when CD's were all the rage:

Oh right, it was declining massively because people were pirating MP3's just like Lemmy users earlier suggested.

Vinyl record sales are outdoing CD's:

collapsed inline media

or go to a concert'

Just fyi there's nothing clamping you to Spotify, I've had Spotify since June 2012 and been to plenty of concerts since then

large rightsholders who already have wealth taken a massively disproportionate amount of that

Then listen to smaller artists? The more you listen to them the bigger their share the more money they make...
