If we assume that they'd make more from your (plural) personal 10 than they'd make from their tiny fraction of total revenue, then yes.

The whole point of the article is saying 80% of bands only make £200 a year.

A band only needs a few hundred fans to easily get above that.

Let’s do some math:

100 fans listen to their music only 5% of the time.

100 fans x £10 x 12 months = £12000.

Your 5% of their listening gives you £600.

3 X higher than 80% of bands. And with only 100 fans. And only listening to your music 5% of the time!

Sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression that I was disagreeing. Yes, I agree with you.

Haha. Sorry! I though it was a sarcastic yes! It was good to actually work it out anyway for my own peace of mind :)
