This is a fantastic (Albeit old) article written by everyones favourite fuck-up, Courtney Love, outlining the ins and outs of Record Label profits, artist cuts, copyrights et al.
"When you look at the legal line on a CD, it says copyright 1976 Atlantic Records or copyright 1996 RCA Records. When you look at a book, though, it’ll say something like copyright 1999 Susan Faludi, or David Foster Wallace. Authors own their books and license them to publishers. When the contract runs out, writers gets their books back. But record companies own our copyrights forever.
The system’s set up so almost nobody gets paid."

and heres a picture of her, just to lower the tone.
