"And it's not dry, blatantly commercial content, either."Hopefully that means they won't be pushing a bunch of "downloading music makes baby jesus cry and kills your mother" crap.
Who cares? Major labels have been cheating artist dry for YEARS.Typically, a major label can break even on an album after 30,000 copies are sold... however, the artist wont see a penny in royalties until they pay off the recoupable debt the labels charge them. That usually ends up being somewhere after 300,000 units are sold. Does that seem fair? Ever since labels began quarterly reporting, they've also shifted their focus from helping an artist develop and grow to mass production, cookie-cutter, bulls**t excuses for music. The music industry is changing, and major labels are going to disappear. Good-f**king-riddance.
