A revenue based on corporate branding and mainstream adoption would kill off nearly all non-pop artists. Sure, Sum41 and Beyonce would still rake in the cash - as thats what the populace likes to listen to (and thus what companies would want to form ties with.) <br><br>But the bands that are a bit of a more acquired taste would be left in the dust by such a revenue stream. Modern jazz fusion groups, French skaa bands, etc.<br><br>So while the rich bands would benefit, you'd eliminate 95% of all musical talent on the scene.Julien McArdleThu, 13 Jul 2006 14:34:16 -0000http://elliottback.com/wp/leveraging-the-sharing-culture/#comment-3193282it's not even a choice, at times. Here in Australia, a new CD can cost $30. For what? One good song? That's not my idea of a well-designed consumer product...cibbuanoTue, 11 Jul 2006 19:26:18 -0000
