Stores typically have a markup of 30% or more on CDs.
the record companies get the rest and only pay a small percentage to the artists, if that.
Apple actually makes a loss running the iTunes store. It makes sense because it promotes sales of the profitable iPod player, and strengthens the brand.
eTunes and Napster would appear to have a problem with their business plan :)
