Jack,
I think you are exactly right here. The thing that I think is
important is that more and more as we move forward the vast majority
of people will have no need for this information and control that
they are giving up in trade for free services because they won't be
trying to make a li
for now, i'd say... use iTunes for exposure... if you want to attempt
to add revenue models... do that via your rss feed and/or videoblog
site.

Not status. Not about marketing. It's a revenue model and it's not a
new plan. It's a concept that has been around for at least 10 years.
It's just that now it could be done with Apple Gift Cirtificates. For
example you buy a $5 gift cirtificate to cover 250 2¢ downloads. I

Nothing about free services is truly free. Free means your are exchanging

MICROBILLING - an old term been discussed and proposed for many
years. Let's cart out that old acorn and try try again.
I would like to see Apple manage microbilling for downloads at very
low rates we can set to be as small as 1¢ per download. I plan to
pursue this model with Apple directly
Currently downloads are free.
What can we do as an ad hoc organization to share in a revenue stream
with this new distribution opportunity?
Apple signs agreements with the "labels". What can we do as
independents to open up this opportunity? It's kind of silly that we
can be an iTunes (iMedia?)
