then and now

artists had to do concerts to make money back when it all started

then came the record companies

who made it easy to spread the word around, popularise the music and make a lotta money

artists got a fraction of what the companies made

figured they werent getting their due..

went on record asking people to steal music..

then napster happened..

now anything you need is online..

and the artists are back to doing concerts to make money..

least things are heading that way

nature has a way of correcting itself i guess

any interesting alternative revenue models for these people who write and make songs ?
