gizmodo.com — If there was ever a time for a band to try going completely independent, this is it. Why give over 90% of your income to greedy sleazebags when you can sell your music online without the middleman? This industry needs to be burned to the ground and built back up again; it's broken and it seems less and less likely that it'll be able to be fixed.

Cool. Though, understand that a lot of musicians don't do live shows....I don't. Where else am I going to get income if people don't pay for my recordings?

More proof RIAA doesn't give a rat's ass about the artists it supposedly represents. They only care about themselves.Apple wants a bigger cut. You may not like that but who doesn't want to improve their bottom line? Apple doesn't represent the artists; it helps sell their music. This is just a normal negotiating stance; not a conflict of interest as in the RIAA position.

hello minoss....This is why we have set up gobstar.com for the artist to have artistic license and the financial rewards they deserve, with the new wave of digital distribution platforms and rapid user generated growth already undermining the conventional record labels model of physical sales, record labels needs to seriously consider how it interacts with the artist and what they get in return 9% lol why not have it all @ Gobstar.com YOU do get it all….. Calling all artists we need YOU spread the word if you like the idea minoss

Now that we've established how crappy labels are, if you like Muse, Queen, Franz Ferdinand, or The Cold War Kids, check out this sick unsigned band: www.CarlottaTheBand.com

Well, if you don't do live shows--then i say all the more reason to download your album before paying for it. I'm sure you wouldn't want people to pay for your music if they don't like it, and i doubt you'd say that any 30 second sample does justice to your music. how come you don't do live shows, anyways?
