www.magnatune.com - musiikin tulevaisuus verkossa?

olisiko tästä johonkin?

kuulostaa ainakin hyvältä:

toimivat näin: http://www.magnatune.com/info/ethos

* all music should be shareware. Just as with software, you want to preview, evaluate, and pass along good music to others--in the process of buying it.

* find a way of getting music from the musician to their audience that's inexpensive and supports musicians. Otherwise, musical diversity will continue to greatly suffer under the current system where only mega-hits make money.

* musicians need to be in control and enjoy the process of having their music released. The systematic destruction of musician's lives is unacceptable: musicians are very close to staging a revolution (and some already have).

* creativity needs to be encouraged: today's copyright system of ?all rights reserved? is too strict. We support the Creative Commons ?some rights reserved? system, which allows derivative works, sampling and no-cost non-commercial use.

what we sell:

* Downloadable albums at a low price: $5 to $18: buyer determines the exact price.

*Sub-licensed music for commercial purposes (i.e.: trade shows, advertising and web sites), priced from $150 to $5000, depending on length and type of use.

* Merchandise: posters, clothing, mugs with artist's likeness.

How the artist makes money:

* 50% of the sale price of each album goes directly to the artist.

* 50% of any commercial sub-licensing (ads, web sites, trade shows, films, etc) goes directly to the artist.

* 50% of merchandise profits goes directly to the artist.

* Wider distribution of the artist's music means more gigs and more fans.
