  1. My god! How revolutionary! by jpellino · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Let's see... no artists in hip-hop, none in easy listening, none in popo, none in... hey, HEY!!!

    Ain't nobody home!

    Is this a bad joke by a sniggering Hilary Rosen? Is this her plan to give artists 100% of.... NOTHING?
    I thought eMusic was the height of marginality, but these guys have them beat.

    As for Chuck, I'd LOVE to see the pitch for this business model:

    1. pay for lotsa hosting & bandwidth
    2. 100% to artist = no margin
    3. ???
    4. profit!!!

    Now I can't wait til monday...
