How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Depends on the terms.
Band History:
'greenhand' is based out of Moorhead, MN and all vocals, scratching, and production are performed by Kelly & Tyler Mangin.***'greenhand' was originally an unnamed collaboration of co-founders DJ Skip-Resistance and emcee's Kelly & Tyler. The group performed at several self-organized events. DJ Skip-Resistance split from the group in early 2005. ***Late 2004, 'greenhand' met two of the members of MYC (Me-and-You Crew), Kipp Gabriel and Matthew Hennessy at an emcee battle held at the MSUM Underground.--- Since then 'greenhand' and 'MYC' have been winning over fans with the live chemistry of several emcees and DJ Ism. ***Most recently 'MYC'/'greenhand' featured Mazta I (rhymesayers) at a self-promoted event in Fargo and opened for Kanser at a skate park in Bismarck.
