A winning Pepsi cap isn’t just a song, it’s a chance to send Pepsi’s 99 cents somewhere good. When a cap is redeemed, Pepsi pays Apple 99 cents for the song, and Apple passes along 65 cents to a record label. Unfortunately, most of the music on iTunes is put out by one of the 5 major record labels, and their business practices are highly suspect. When you buy an iTunes song from a major label, there’s a good chance the artist won’t see a penny, because they’re still recouping. If the artist does get a cut, it’s only about 10 cents from the 99 cents you paid. But we can do better!
P.S. Just saw Grand Buffet the other night on the Fuck the Clear Channel tour with Sage Francis, great show. If you haven’t recently, belly back up to the Grand Buffet.
