No, they do see part of that.

But my point is that I don't think CD's are worth the price. As a kid I made tapes of everything on the radio, when we could download stuff I moved to that. CD's have always been a last desperate resort and usually only when they're heavily discounted or something. I actually can't think of a CD I've ever paid full price for.
Also, the labels tried to go to court to prevent the promo CD's from being sold because they didn't see a cut. They lost.
New RIAA Argument: Throwing A Promo CD In The Garbage = Unauthorized Distribution | Techdirt
"UMG claimed that the CDs, as promotional items, were still the property of Universal Music Group."
"UMG has now filed a brief that says that throwing out a promotional CD is unauthorized distribution. "
"Effectively, UMG is saying that merely by putting some fine print on a CD, it can effectively "own" that CD forever."
