Following on the heels of Radioheads efforts last year this represents an exciting and invigorating new direction for the industry and most interestingly one bypasses major labels and their traditional distribution channels..The industry has been trying to argue for some time now that music sharing steals money from artists. Theyve used scare tactics to try to convince musicians that music sharing will leave them all penniless on the street with hand-lettered cardboard placards reading will compose for food propped up against their tattered guitar cases..Now in my opinion those arguments are pure hokum. ………The is with the news of Nine Inch Nails latest experiment in building a new business model for musicians.

They were being robbed blind by copyright infringing netizens who were doing their thing sharing files over the internet. Interesting observation however that had the Music Industry embraced Napster and perhaps merely enforced a tariff on the mp3 format, sales would not have crunched as they have, leaving the industry blind and not really moving in terms of new content.[!] Maybe they should still institute such a tariff. Maybe this is the reason the entire world is in a major credit crunch lately. I believe there is a connection. Any other thoughts?
