back Ok,music with copyright. Billboard released its list of top money making acts. It doesn't give a systematic breakdown of earnings by category - but it did for Metallica (you know Lars Ulrich, the gas station attendant turned drummer who says he'd never have made the switch without copyright forever)
Along with touring revenue -- the band pulled in $22.8 million from 55 arena shows reported to Boxscore that drew more than 968,000 fans -- Metallica sold 694,000 albums in 2009. The majority of those sales came from its Rick Rubin-produced 2008 release, "Death Magnetic" (297,000). Album sales revenue totaled $1.6 million. And most of Metallica's track download earnings came from its 1991 hit "Enter Sandman," which sold 450,000.
Hmmm...think it would make a lot of difference to the world if they lost the $1.6 million from the albums? Without copyright they'd only make $22.8 million from touring...You might almost think it would be worth it to them to give the recorded music away for free to promote their concerts...

Comments Was the $22.8 million gross or net? [Comment at 03/01/2010 05:34 AM by Anonymous] Revenue is always gross, not net. [Comment at 03/01/2010 09:39 AM by David Z] It would appear from the Billboard site that revenue refers to the artists share, not total revenue generated. [Comment at 03/01/2010 02:09 PM by vivaelamor] So, after expenses, they might have only made $1.6 million in profit? [Comment at 03/02/2010 05:19 AM by Anonymous] I think Metallica is great, but they would be even better if they did
