and from that article (which i had alreay seen being a drm debate fan and a prop trader concerned with share prices and trends):
-------------- Despite selling a respectable 35,000 copies of their debut album, Tragedy Rocks, and making the top 40 with the single Lottery Winners On Acid, the band were last year dropped by their record label, Warner Music. Like its major-label rivals, it [Warner] is struggling with the structural changes to the record industry and, say critics, is increasingly unable to invest in long-term artist development. The experiment is being watched closely by the industry and other artists struggling with the conundrum of how to make money at a time when CD sales are collapsing and margins are decreasing... so it's like Sun's Open Office. if you can't sell, you may as well give it away for free adn hope it works out well somehow in the future... -------------- that's hardly an argument for why drm is bad!!!! -- willyhoops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ willyhoops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
