Channel 4 report on DJ Hero claims that musicians earn just one US Cent from every game sold
Could the video games industry be exploiting musicians – left with little option than to sell their wares super-cheap due to pressures from piracy?
That's the question posed by a Channel 4 News report today, which reveals that a sale of a music game featuring a musician's track earns them just one tenth of what an equivalent music CD would generate.
The feature reveals that musicians earn "around one [US] cent for each [game] sold".
