do you really think anyone other than the very top 1% of artists playing live are really making 30% more - that article is skewed by the top 5 grossing acts - it's like saying all movies are making money this year because Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time....

I have no idea what you are talking about... how are they paying for ferrari's on .15 per cd... I don't even know how you're coming up with that number...
Look we don't have to agree I'm just trying to point out all of the gross misinformation and intentional disinformation that gets thrown about here... which still doesn't change the fundamental baseline of this conversation:
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 OLD 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?
