a really clever idea on how to legally bypass current copyright laws, and distribute music more freely and less expensive. this idea doesn't cover all of the bases (like paying the artists), but, it's a very interesting concept none the less. serriously, read it. |

...and paying the artist is among the most important things here... haha. I don't mind paying cash to labels I like... I don't buy much mainstream anyway. oh to the point, it was a nice concept, but I just enjoy owning pressed stuff.. and limited, if available :) but that's just me. for the environment, I guess this would be much better. But then you can release a limited amount of copies aswell, just for fun :) |

yeah, it's far from a perfect plan, but as of right now millions of people are doing it anyway... it's just, the way they are doing it now is illegal. and the guy does touch on the fact that current recording industry giants could refocus their energy on becoming marketers. one thing is for sure, the record industry is going to have to change soon, whether it likes it or not, i just thought this was a interesting idea that i hadn't heard yet. |

I thought this was an interesting idea and well thought out. But I think the RIAA has already sealed its fate with these latest lawsuits - this might be a business plan for some of the smaller, more nimble record labels. |

pretty soon the record labels are gonna lawsuit themselves SOO bad that they wont be able to even MAKE music. lol. |

they could pay a flat rate per album per established artist (monetary amount depending on their popularity) directly to that musician.. it'd be better than a record deal in some ways |

they could stop charging $20 a cd and maybe people would want to buy shit. come on, this isn't rocket science. |

who i meant by "they" was snapster.. the users/music fans would pay a monthly/weekly fee or a low fee per album/track download |

There's a follow-up by the author to anyone who was curious about the original plan. |
