If you get a site where there are a list of bands you’ve never heard of with free music for download, and Britney Spears, your average punter or warez/mp3 kiddy is going to go for the recognisable brand name.
For example, Radiohead announce that they are going to allow you to pay what you want for their album, and it is all over the front page of Digg, and practically every other ezine or publication. If ‘Scubbs Nosebleed’ [fictional unknown group - or as far as I know] announce that they are making their first/latest album available for free download, then who the hell will give a shit? Apart from the mum of the Scubbs Nosebleed’s drummer
The music industry screws artists, sure. And the end user too. But all too often the end user screws the artist with their torrented collections, and what the artist makes mostly is from their “brand recognition”.
With some small exceptions, the music industry and music in general is in decline, but that is as much to do with the listener and their attitudes to music as it is to do with the evils of the record companies.
So go on, dig me down because you fucked up the quality of music.
If they had been a nobody band none of you would have bought it or even heard about it.
Labels/Studios have been screwing artists since the first record and the customer on and off since then too. Hopefully we can cut them out all together or at least reduce them to an advertising firms.
