... Where on earth did you get that idea? The independents for the most part are doing better than ever. They have managed to use the Internet to build listeners, giving them artists on Myspace and linking them all together so people can "explore" and find more music. Most of them -hate- DRM: since the Indies don't play the payola games that the Big4 play to get songs on the radio, someone sharing a file is the best way they have to get people to hear their bands. Yes, they know that some people are not paying for their music: but they also know that many more others will discover it and purchase it, making for a net gain. See http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?NewsID=13739&Page=1&pagePos=2 and many many more. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
