Dollar for dollar it is less. However, I've always felt that most of the
Parasol money that was earned via EMusic was money that would not have been
earned otherwise (this was especially the case when EMusic was trying to
make its model work during the explosive growth of free downloading) so that
balances it out. EMusic seems to have a devoted subscriber base that is
willing to try new music and Parasol artists have benefited from that. A few
larger independent labels have told me in the past month that after iTunes,
they earn more money from EMusic than any other digital distributor. In one
case EMusic was greater than all of the others combined (not including
iTunes).
I hope that helps.
Michael
