Artists do definitely get shafted when it comes to royalties. But let's not pretend they don't need to raise prices at this point. The last one was in 2011, which means that they were probably burning investors' money to be able to afford that.
The period of cheap money is over. So a $1 increase is not that bad. Still agree that more of that should be passed down to artists.
