But like I said, their model is easily improved upon: you could double the price (which still keeps it very low) and funnel all that extra revenue to the artists. That way they would earn as much or more than they do from current CD sales. That model, one would think, is something that would work even if hosted outside Russia.

I'm actually convinced, even though I wrote about this in my blog, that the artists don't get a share of the income. The price however is right and record companies should really start to see the value in pricing their artists this cheap. Because let's face it, it's not about the costs that keep the prices high, it's the record labels. Internet brings them incredible volumes to their doorstep and they turn them away. Now where's the business logic in that? The only problem is that they don’t pay that many roaylties to artists.
