You can download this paper from Liquid Audio . If you are in the music biz the Rope's hostess Julie Gordon will grant you access. For the most part Julie's web site is an open discussion group about the state of the music industry.
Most posts are anonymous and lead to some very interesting discussions.
If you are already in the music biz you need to register with this site. I have worked in promotion and marketing in the past at Arista Records , EMI Music Group , and MCA Records . There are dozens of major record companies on the web as well as hundreds of independent labels. A good directory of record labels on the web is Yahoo's List of Record Companies . For the most extensive information about the independent music industry, IUMA is a must stop.
