Do you really think this is going backwards to the prior situation (pre-internet??). Really?? It doesn't look like to me.

And yess Kieran Kelly ... it's only my opinion!
all that said - I'm not seeing a sustainable revenue model for anyone - bands or labels.

This isn't about going backwards, it's about finding a sustainable revenue model for artists to create PROFIT going forward - with or without labels.

For all the hype around here about NEW Models it always comes back to the same conversation...

OLD MODEL LESS MUSIC SALES REVENUE : IE playing live and Selling Merch - both of which are not new, the only thing that is new is there is now NO REVENUE FROM MUSIC SALES...

is this so hard to understand?
