somebody has to crack the the what i like to call the "give something to get something" model - record companies should be looking at university students as collaborators not enemies. sure today and probably in the future they are still going to be the top of the illegal downloader list, but if they can be incentivized to sell new artists, write blogs, spread buzz in a coordinated way and get comped for it then maybe we have an answer to the problem. lot of energy and free time out there.

Seems like trouble has been brewing for a while at Spiralforg - http://business.timesonline... - anybody know who the backers are?

It will be interesting to see how the 2 different types of music discovery networks (Bebo/MySpace vs Pandora/LastFM) pan out.

If Flickr and YouTube are anything to go by, bet on the category killer.

Good point mspoke. The analogy I make between music and film breaks down because of this.

I tend to think the consumer has been ripped off for far too long for recorded music. I'm happy that some indie lables have taken this first step towards DRM-free recordings. My thoughts are that if a person is 'into' an artist enough to want to copy full albums then they are likely to want to go and see them play live.

Live performance is where the real money is in the music industry in the future.

Hi Farhan - my guess is different from yours. I think a good (and growing) proportion of people looking for the long tail of music use myspace, or bebo etc.

But are the two audiences the same? I.e. are the people looking for the long tail of music the same people who are using myspace? My guess is no. Will be interesting to see how it pans out though.
