Today it takes a lot for a band to get noticed. With the information age upon us the music industry is finding itself lost. However, the musicians themselves are finding new ways to succeed in the absence of the bumbling music industry. How are they doing this? They are using new mediums to distribute their music. The internet has opened up opportunities to deliver their goods without the high cost of compact discs. So, with the cost to distribute music down (not free, practice time, studio fees, remastering, etc.) why do most musicians give their music away? This is no way to succeed at anything! These musicians poor their heart and soul into these tunes, shouldn't they be compensated for writing good stuff? I think when artist give their music away it devalues their art. It's not selling out when you’re feeding yourself (or buying yourself a Ferrari). It's doing what you’re good at and providing for yourself independently. Giving music away is counter-productive to this end. I urge all of the musicians in the world to earn for the music they slave over. Upload all known content to www.Plugo.la and sell it to someone who appreciates it, so they can sell it to someone, and they can sell it to someone, and they can sell it to someone, and they can sell it to someone, and they can sell it to someone. That’s how it works!
