How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Record sales have slumped, record companies have lost control - so now Artists have many more opportunities to get their music heard. However, the downside of this is that piracy is more prevalent. Will this change with DRM? It's an interesting time...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes. I am not adverse to major labels, as long as my deal works for me creatively, artistically and pays me what is expected for a serious artist with longevity in mind - I would be very happy!!
