Looks like a good thing for the indy bands/artists if the percentages work out: http://apnews.excite.com/article/200...D8JSN6S00.html |

Good, maybe some of those fokkers will finally have some real $$... The Format is a killer band btw, if you don't know. Check out their song "The first single".

This is a huge development for the independant music industry.

Good for independents! Back in the www.mp3.com heyday (back when it was a site for independents), I made about $25,000 off of downloads and CD sales (doing nothing but on-site banner ads for promotion). Then once tech stocks crashed, they wanted me to pay them for the "right" to post music on their site. Maybe this will tip the hat back towards musicians.

I think it would be huge! Bands on myspace have easy access to thousands of fans, and selling music online there would be better than somewhere like itunes, IMO. You can contact your fans/fav artist directly, versus itunes where you have to search for them, etc. There is a lot more personal interaction there. BTW, someone I met on myspace started this site that is more focused on engineer/producers/etc. It's like myspace, but for our industry people. Check it out, sign up if you wish. It's new, so it's building up  http://www.amipop.com/ | |
