As for this statement. I think that the musician has more power today than they every have.
Think about it:
1.Anyone with a computer can now make professional quality music(given that they
have the talent and ideas). Its no longer an issue of who has the most expensive toys.
2. The web has given the artist the ability to create potential exposure all over the globe.
3. The cost of cd burners and blank media are at an all time low. I remember about
5 yrs ago paying $8 a piece for blank cdrs. What are they now 60 cents ? This
beats the hell out of the blank tapes demos were passed around on a few yrs back.
4. The cost of manufacturing a cd has dropped conciderably in recent yrs as well
Also, I think that if we should be getting pissed at any big music orginazation right
now its the RIAA who are strongarming alot of policy these days.
