Jepjep, great stuff - thanks for the link, theknife!
The writer makes some very good propositions to the labels but I share the skepticism of Mazer. The big labels are unlikely to follow the advice, and in their unwillingness to change they are keeping their signed artists as 'hostages' to the old order. Indie labels are probably much more open to new business models and willing to co-operate with the evolving online communities. Some success stories there might help to change the general climate.
