I suspect that is the reason as well. Its fairly clear that the "record label" model that has worked from the 1950s up until recently is just not working. Up and coming groups are not getting signed, and CD sales are way down. 50+ years is a fairly long time for any business model. Not a lot of surprise that its dying quickly, or that the dinosaurs are fighting for life. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
