Radiohead Kicks the Middleman to the Curb: 1 Week, 1.2M Albums Sold

I don't understand the last sentence of the article. So they made 10 millions on download sales, and still are supposed to have to hope for selling T-Shirts to make real money? I would have thought that without the middlemen, a higher percentage of those 10 millions would end up in the artists pockets.

I can't accept that the only way to finance music is supposed to be to sell stupid T-Shirts.

$10M isn't real money?

That is what I was saying: the article mentions that Radiohead sold downloads for 10M$, but later he goes on claiming that they still have to hope for selling T-Shirts and concert tickets to make any real money. 10M$ sure seems like real money to me.
