Trent Reznor said he was making 80cents/sale.

At several million copies sold, that comes out to quite a bit.

Not really.

Reznor profit: 1,000,000 * .80 = 800,000

RIAA profit: 1,000,000 * 18.98 = 18,980,000

4% profit. Fucking chump change to them; and not to mention that _they_ own your music, _not_ you.
