At the beginning of the recording industry the means of production and distribution were expensive. Recording studios invested a lot of money, and got a return on their investment.
Now that anybody with a PC and Cakewalk can produce the same quality product and distribute it for free, that business model no longer applies.
The money isn't going to the artists, anyway. It goes to the RIAA and big corporations.

Last year I bought a music CD off of Amazon.com. When it arrived it was burned on a Lightscribe disc so I sent a message to the company about it being a copy.
It turned out the “company” was the actual artist and he mailed me a signed CD cover.

Meanwhile, YouTube is a virtual jukebox, any song you can think of is pretty much out there.
