Just read Jeff from ninja-tune's mail. I assume there are quite a few people
in here who own record labels/are trying to put out records. And I assume of
those of us listening to 'idm' (argh, how I hate that term) most of us have
access to napster. Probably significantly more so than most other genres. So
I'd like to ask the record label owners this; what has happened to sales
figures since napster came along? Has it affected them dramatically in any
way? I for one use napster, but am probably buying the exact same amount of
music as before, if not more. That goes for everyone I know as well. If
anything it has made me more aware of the need to support the artists I
think are great. I'm sure, as has been said so many times, it's going to
fuck the majors, but will it really affect the 'underground?' I'm not
saying it won't, but if it is going to - surely it would have started
already?
So record label owners - let us in on your sales figures.
Hew
