  Well Horp. There's no money in it. If there's 1 thing that record companies want, it's money.

  Google, the biggest internet behemoth, promised them lots of filthy advertising lucre (in exchange for permission to give their music away for free) and it never showed up. You know what happened (at least in the uk)

  I reckon Spotify are on an 24 month deal, so I also reckon that their time is nearly up and I further reckon that there's not a fat cheque in sight.

  • You'd also loose a large batch of artists though.moth
  • The best thing labels do is pay them advances that facilitate quitting the day job.moth
