Then sir, I apologize to you for my comment. Perhaps rewording your news release? Good luck to you.

michaelGregoire - thanks for the apology - with the announcement already recorded and written up, I can't really change it - but I promise you that I will endeavor to clarify the message. :)

I have high hopes for this. I'm really starting to love how this whole new free music thing is beginning to catch on. Power to the artists! f**k the RIAA, IFPI, CRIA, etc.

I run a British Breakbeat record label ( no I won't link for obvious reasons on Digg ) I'm pretty well clued up on the ins and outs of digital marketing/distribution/competition/evaluation etc.etc .etc. My question to you therefore is this : Where's the music mate? All you're saying is common knowledge but doesn't mean s**t without the music and, to be honest, you've just missed a massive opportunity by launching your product with well...no f**king product!Why would you do that?

I was a little disappointed. It sounded, from the intro, that he had a plan. All he really said was "Blah Blah, DRM sucks, Blah Blah, I'm going to try non-traditional ways of publishing music." Well that's great - everyone wants to do that. The implementation details, though, which are the sticking point, are lacking.Will his approaches be practical?Will they scale up?Will they work when it's no longer a novelty, and the rest of the music industry is using them too?Maybe he has these answers. Maybe he doesn't. Without them, though, he's just another anti-drm activist.
