^Nopes, it's not distributed on the same way because the expenses are different. The label gets most of the profit from physical releases not because they are evil or whatever, but because they have to pay for more aspects of the production: The photoshoot, the team of graphic designers, the printing, the outfits, the plastic box, the cd media, the shipping to the stores, logistic, etc, etc, etc... All of those are payed by the label that recovers from those spents with the sales. When you have a digital release, most of those, mainly the most expensive parts (printing, transportation, logistic, buying the cds and boxes, etc.) are eliminated... What makes it overall cheaper to sell in order to have a positive income AND reduces the amount of people you need to share the final income with.
