Ask a Music Producer/Publicist About Filesharing and the RIAA

Posted by Roblimo on Monday August 18, 2003 @04:00AM from the people-behind-the-stars dept.

Bill Evans is one of those people in the music business who doesn't get a lot of public exposure, but keeps the wheels cranking behind the scenes. He's not just a musician and techie, but a publicist whose clients include Numavox Records artists Kerry Livgren and Michael Gleason as well as progressive rocker Neal Morse; he's produced (among many others) songs for the Burning Annie soundtrack and the Kansas Tribute Project. Naturally, since he makes his living in the music business, Bill is not 100% in favor of unrestricted filesharing. But what might work? And what might not? Let's find out what this music biz insider thinks -- one question per post, of course. Answers to the "Top 10" questions will be published soon after he gets them back to us.

I have been reading Slashdot for years. This article finally made me create a login.

This guy might have some interesting stuff to say.
That he is a publicist for Neal Morse shows me he is not pushing the same drivel that most in the industry are.

Morse has been a favorite of mine for some time. He will release a solo album in September, but is currently best known for his work in Spock's Beard. To learn more, listen to progressive rock classics The Doorway from the Beware of Darkness album or Thoughts (part 2) from the album V.
