It still worked out for them because they had enough people who did buy that they made up for the tons that didn't
actually your totally wrong again

radio head averaged more money on the FREE people then they did if they had sold the album under the studio deal

why because they sent people who downloaded the album for free mailer advertising their tour, and enough people bought thru the affiliate link to ticket masters that they actually exceeded their total royalties for an actual sale.
