In some cases, like with Pandora, although you pay nothing, advertisers pay to show their ads, and when those ads are shown, the musicians gets paid a small amount. However, in many cases, the music is illegally uploaded to youtube and other such sites. In these situations, the musicians do lose money. They can still make some, because some people will buy the music anyway, or will buy a CD with a number of that musician's songs on it. EDIT: Actually, They can also make money on Youtube, too, but only if they are the ones who post it, and use Vevo.
Musicians make around $62,000 a year which is a little higher than the national average. Musicians in New York and California that are working can make much more.
About three musicians. Why make things complicated?
