cAPSLOCK: I kind'a sort'a disagree. The musician ain't the product, but merely the conduit by which the product(the music) is made manifest. HEH! So much for the spiritual aspects of this conversation. ;-)

But I do agree with you with regards to the manner in which artists have been treated by the industry. The various mechanisms of distribution ARE necessary because, excepting a few examples such as Ani DiFranco, Todd R., and others, most musicians don't have the "head" for the business aspects of the game. This is to take NOTHING away from them, just that when you're consumed by an artistic passion, business logistics oft-times are ignored. So given this it's logical that an industry grew up feeding off this reality. BUT, the industry has just about killed the golden goose with its roughshod, indentured servant attitude towards its "product developer/manager", otherwise known as the musician. As such, and history has provided endless examples, REVOLT is made inevitable. This appears to be what we're now witnessing.

I say more power to 'em. Meanwhile, EDIG can't seem to get out of it's own way. Clearly everybody's standing around waiting on purchase order news, eh?

John~
