Indies Blossoming Despite RIAA

Posted by michael on from the mammals-keep-eating-our-reptilian-eggs dept.

Shadow Wrought writes "We have all read the numerous RIAA articles on Slashdot, not to mention scores of other articles that discuss the industry's purported demise. An article at the Christian Science Monitor calls this assumption into question by pointing to the success that Indie Labels are beginning to enjoy. An interesting read and one that provides pretty good support against the RIAA's argument that a quartet of college students is responsible for their troubles."

    Indie labels are to Big Music labels as Open Source is to Big Proprietary Software and must therefore be eliminated.

    You don't understand the open source businessmodel that "indie" music studios is using.

    1: Write free software.
    2: ?
    3: Be "indie".
    4: Profit!
