Some interesting commentary on this issue here: http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/09/10/0314244 Echoes a lot of what you've been saying, but there are some other good points. Like this one: "It is hard for most people to fathom this, but a top musician/band only makes between .10 and .15 cents for every disc that is sold!!! The rest of the loot goes to the publishing company, record company and other places." These people aren't defending artists, they're defending their own obsolescence (sp?). We don't *need* distributors anymore, we don't *need* high-priced marketing anymore, and they damn well know it. -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ He who knows others is wise.
