Or at least that's dish soap dispenser what David Lowery says. The article is rambling and poorly written, but the gist of it is that digital distribution dish soap dispenser shifts dish soap dispenser a lot of risk away from big companies and onto artists. dish soap dispenser Lowery argues that the average dish soap dispenser musician was better off under the old record dish soap dispenser label model because record labels provided capital for creating new music, and shifted dish soap dispenser some of the profits away from the few super successful artists to the modestly successful ones (i.e., the majority). The digital distribution model has done away with that. Now artists increasingly have to provide the capital, and also see a falling share of the revenue. To top it off, digital distribution hasn't even decentralized the music industry--the business used to be dominated by a few huge record labels, and now it's dominated by even fewer distribution outlets (e.g., Apple) who nevertheless take a huge cut of the profit.

Digital distribution is good for IT people, though. Somebody has to tend the streams. Musicians also get more control over their work in return for the extra effort of digital self-publishing. They pretty much had no control at all under the old label system. If you're in it to make money, signing to a label is probably best for you. __________________ As if.

payola never went away, not really. Record labels offer incentives and purchase advertising to stations. Not officially for airtime, but for airtime. Hopefully Billboard will increase its use soundscan and iTunes to measure song popularity. __________________
