Sony FRANCE Is Really Bungling The Release of A Cause de L'Automne in the U.S.

[Ray4AJ]

I've spent the last hour trying to research the music industry a little, starting with a google search "digital download costs to label." Nothing has really become clear to me yet, but I'm going to have to agree that they (Sony Music Entertainment) see no profitable market in the US for at least this single. It looks to me like there are costs involved in each country where something is released, and it's not as simple as just creating a page on Amazon. And things like Lefty mentioned about a performing rights society.

So now I'm curious as to just how many fans there are in the US. It can't be just the folks here on AAM. I don't know how to figure that one out. Still bummed.
