Have signed the savenetradio petition but wish I was in the US so I could perhaps shout a bit louder - whay happens there happens here shortly after!
Just for my 3 pennies worth "Main stream radio is shit" (nicked from NYUB podcast radio:-) it is regional, based on what the record company cartel wish to promote and is of little interest to me. Internet radio on the other hand brings new music to my ears and constantly encourages me to go out and buy artists CD's I would never have heard of if left to the 'label' system. By trying to shackle internet radio the record companies are being thier usual short sighted selves - I BUY music I want to keep, after I have been introduced to it by ripping friends CD's or listening to internet radio!!! Mr.Record Company Man you will NEVER STOP THIS and in the very near future YOU WILL NOT EXIST AT ALL unless you embrace this concept. If the record companies don't stop fighting their corner and help us shape the future of music distribution their involvement will inevitably be sidelined, the days of massive profits off the back of a major artist are already waning. Together we can make a viable distribution model that serves artist, promoter, distributor and listener - if not then the record companies will be left with only their back catalogue and they will have no place in the future of new music distribution!!! -- Timbo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=933 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33447 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
