Pink Floyd pulls out of Pandora

I thought tours where how every artist has ever made money? Album sales and royalties have always gone to the labels and content owner.

If it wasn't that way then why did Michael Jackson but the Beatles catalog?

Artists typically got about a $1 an album. Since people download just one or two songs instead of the album, the royalty is just a a fraction of that.

Tours were to support the album (along with just making money).
