This is a really interesting article. If the music industry would just grow up and use the internet for all it’s advantages, they’d do a lot better, I think. Shutting down Muxtape? What a terrible idea. I can’t tell you how many times I heard a sweet song on someone’s playlist and clicked the link to Amazon to buy it.

Perhaps the major labels are just scared of the fact that independent musicians might not need them anymore. If you do it right on the internet you can do DIY.

And I couldn’t tell you, how many times I would have clicked that same link, if Amazon would allow international customers to buy mp3. I know, it’s not their fault, I just wanted to give another example of when major labels lose money because they’re scared shitless.
