DRM, EMI, iTunes and Sellaband April 4, 2007
Posted by James Webster in : web , trackbackIf you were anywhere near the Internet yesterday you would have seen the blogstorm of commentary regarding the EMI/iTunes deal. I think its a great step forward however many are justified in being a little skeptical.
Is this the death rattle of DRM or the major labels as we know them? If you have talent there are many more options today beyond handing your soul (and masters) to a label. The Podsafe Music Network has been swinging along for quite a while now; I have generally ceased listening to broadcast radio so I hear alot of new music via podcasts. My mate Pete also put me onto Sellaband, read TechCrunch’s reviews here and here. Like Pete I also bought a part in Second Person and was delighted to see them reach the $50,000 target. The latest SellaBand Tribune announces that Second Person will be headlining a Sellaband showcase gig in London during June.
I see several parallels between Kiva and Sellaband; allowing people to easily connect with capital to realise their dreams.
