I really think that the world doesen't need another new record label. Yes,
the idea sounds cool, but there is really a lot more work in creating a
good label than you probably think. I think it would be better to actually
educate the LMMS users how to submit a demo to a label and how to make
their music more popular. If they ever have any income, some will surely
donate to lmms.
Best regards,
