I'm just sensing that they are trying to inverse the industry, but
on our

should pay the artist AND the distributor.... not only the

right?) And
it is important that we stay aware of the undefinable value of our
art!
a very insightful analysis.
of course, turning music into money is not an exact algebra.
['undefinable value of our art'] and i don't know how much money there
is in the last.fm pie. i think there is money in the myspace pie, but
this is in many ways because it is a date service as well as a music
service [still, music viewers bring eyeballs to the site].
what would be better?
some kinda microcurrency? [0.01 cent per click]
non monetary value? [free downloads every N clicks]
profit sharing per download [$.20 per song downloaded]
something else?
i think it is a good use of some of our valuable time to think about a
better way to organize this kinda thing. the old music industry is
dieing- but it's fighting all the way down. what does the new music
industry look like?
as political activists i know say, 'another world is possible!'
