Although I'm really into the whole idea of the Net, there's a number of issues I don't agree with. I don't agree with the idea that everything on the Net goes up for free. Some of that work is artists' work, and if artists don't earn money for their work they stop making music or films or whatever. There's not one major record label that's putting songs up there as complete songs. They've been waiting for someone to come up with a format rather than a marketing tool that there's no control over.
Back catalogues are an investment, and putting up unprotected files is irresponsible.
I want the Internet to be is a marketing platform. There are two different ways. If you're an unsigned artist you can go up for free and we'll take a cut from sales. Independent record labels can hire a shelf and do their business - the money goes direct to them. We've got some artists who want to hire shelves - they've screwed by major record contracts and want to control their own sales.
