Myspace to Sell MP3s From Unsigned Bands

soldrinero writes "Yahoo! news is hosting a story about a new competitor to Apple's iTunes Music Store. Nearly all the other iTunes competitors have been strongly controlled by the music industry, shackled in DRM, and giving little back to artists. The new MySpace music store will feature vanilla MP3 downloads at prices set by the individual bands (3 million of them!), all or nearly all of whom are unsigned musicians with no industry affiliation. Is this the example we have all been waiting for of how the Internet will obviate the business model of the recording industry?"

I mean, while were at it, a flippable cassette would be nice. Perhaps Bengie's rotating drum technology would suit us now.

I've never seen what the problem with emo was.

The problem with emo is that it has turned an entire generation into drama queens.
