Someone took the time to put together this side, iTunes iSbogus, without taking the time to understand the entire situation.

It may be true that the average artist will only get $.11 per song downloaded from Apple's store, but blame the record companies and music publishers for this, not Apple. Until artists are able to publish their own work and retain ownership, we'll have this problem. As long as the record companies effectively own the music, artists are at the mercy of the industry.
