Raise your glasses to the artists who tell the big labels to kiss-off!
I'll buy from the artists, but not the big labels. If I am going to subsidize anyone, I want it to be the people actually making the artistic effort and not the antiquated distribution behemoths~ |

Don't worry. I'm sure the RIAA can come with something to quash any plan that cuts out their middleman status. After all, where will they get the cash to continue financing their revenue-by-lawsuit business model. Someone has to pay for it and as long as they keep pretending to be for the artists & righteously angry because of the mythical claim that P2P somehow "hurts" them, then some of the dimmer musicians like Sheryl Crow will continue to fall for it and keep appearing as a RIAA dope-on-a-rope.

Re: Stupid RIAA
Exciting stuff!
Search Engine for music:
I've been working on just that. An independent SE just for music.
Tough to get the data from the labels. Artists sign over their rights in the status quo paradigm.

|  Will it beat the price point?
I will be very interested to see if music these musicians are selling on their own will show up on free P2P services. It will also be interesting to see how many people have them on their available to download lists. If the price is reasonable, like $1 per song, it will be interesting to see how much people are willing to shell out. Even if the money is going directly to the musicians.
In short, the answer is...time will tell.

I'm definitely in favor of this. Screw the RIAA - they've made enemies of the people that support them. Good luck to MUDDA!

I'm looking forward to being able to buy songs that will be going to something worthwhile, directly to the artist. Although I am used to getting it for free, but I will buy from the artist. |

I see big problems coming from this. Why if at a buck a song would would you rather buy on line? Im not supporting the RIAA but if youll be paying a $1 a song then there will be huge profits for whatever site they have the music on.
There will still be a middle man somewhere maby not the RIAAbut another money hungry organization.
There is still going be big problems.

It would be a perfect match. You know how he feels about

refused to play songs from The Last DJ). |

Exactly my thoughts. I already came to the conclusion a while back that P2P either killed or is killing any reasonable chance for artists to make money. People say that they are willing to pay artists direct, but if you read enough about P2P here, you get the feeling that no one would pay money anyways because P2P is free. |

1 edit | Why would they charge $1 a song, presently with the online sales the musicians only get cents out of it. I am sure their pricing could be much more competitive than anything the record companies can do.
Just had a thought, why not have an online membership to each band that you like, that way you get all their music once you join, the artist makes money and also gets more of a loyal fan. Is up to the band after that to make it worthwhile to remain a member. So it is a package that is marketed soley by the artist, if they are just one hit wonders, then that is their problem.
This way P2P would have no affect, the fan supports the band they like and if they don't support that band then the band will not be able to produce anymore music and so there would be nothing for P2P to share.. |

i much agree with you. just by having banner ads the site should make money. or a monthly subscription of 1 dollar would make this fly. not a buck a song. |

Re: Will it beat the price point?
If the artist keeps tight control on the original product, i.e. no leaks from workers (most workers that leak stuff are pissed the the record companies anyhow), then the initial release of songs will have to make some money before everyone starts to share it. |

You know how many more musicians would come out of the woodwork if each band had a subscription based page? Man I may just throw in some stuff off my mixer. Who knows. We all could have a chance that way. I like it!
