Re: How long before.....

These are indie artists, no label, no RIAA. The real question is, how long before they start getting ripped off too.

If the statistics on artist profit per release (pennies per release) frequently quoted here are any indication, then artists will get more for their work by putting their trust into the public. Percentage-wise, this should work out for the musicians, I should think. Unless 'the public' is greater than 90% dishonest.

Please people, PAY these artists if you download their music, it would only take a few major artists to make money by selling their works directly to the public,on the net, before the floodgates open and this in turn will put the major labels and their RIAA out of business for good! We pay and we get our music directly from the creators and more creative minds will get into the act and we will enjoy even more music!

This is the way to go!!

You bet! Ther last thing the RIAA wants to see is a distribution model work, while leaving them out of the loop. Direct artist-to-fan distribution. Puts the control of the music back in the people's hands.

Re: How long before.....

A couple of years ago I picked up an album from Aussie rocker Rob Tognoni (»www.robtognoni.com/).
For the measly sum of 12 bucks, including shipping, he sent a CD with MP3's of ALL his albums, made from the studio masters. He has a few regular CD's out but one of them costs more than the MP3 CD I got. A real true musician, very deserving of your money.

Pearl Jam indie?

They used to have record deals galore.

Right now, the RIAA is sweatingbullets thinking of how they can stop this since they will make no money from it. It will be under the blanket of "protection" and "copyright" that the RIAA loves to use for itself and against the artists.
