The advent and onslaught of net-labels releasing
music under creative commons, is a result of the
control devices of copyright and record labels.
I have no sympathy for the Artist in a commercial
sense. We can not protect the value of music
without re-establishing what this value is by
destroying it.
Several things are happening for me, while
discovering net-labels, and creative commons.
I am finding excellent music that makes me question
the value of the music I pay for. In a dual process
I am overwhelmed by content and desire a external
filter that will condition my access to the music.

The consumer receives the value.
The artist must create the value.
The 'company' lose their dictation of value.
.
I do not suggest that this is an easy process, however
it is necessary for progression.
A strong symbol of this working is Vladislay Delay.
On their website, they release some MP3 for free, they
also promote material for sale, and they have provided
a series of samples which they encourage you to steal!

Artists must remain free to control their own output.
We are involved in the action of globalization.
We can acknowledge the process and define its path.
This is the evolution of value'
How is the artist not a martyr?

reacting against the "value" given a product because
the artist would like to make a living, assumes that
there is an actual value in the product, otherwise why
react to it ? (and if value is defined by the
consumer, then it must have value to begin with in
order for therre to be a denial of value) furthermore
the cultural conditions of society (broadly speaking)
have forced the perception that art is somehow
cheapened when there is money involved, your stance
seems to feed right into the established norm, but
does it under the (no doubt well intentioned) idea of
being a martyr for art, which is a total bullshit idea
(although sometimes necessary step in evolution of
authenticity)
