A Change is Gonna Come
Get out your Sam Cook records, kids… A Change Is Gonna Come. Fusor.net has been in business since 1998 - I think that's like several centuries in Internet years. Why, when we started this, it was all hand-cranked, remember? In... Continue reading

I like the way the article's author grabs attention by invoking the "piracy" debate when this is really just a clever example of busking. It's street singing, with a captive audience on a boat. Clever enough, certainly, but "piracy" really has nothing to do with it.
Who's The Pirate Now? How One Band Generated $83,000 In Revenue On The High Seas
Guest post by Matt Bryant of Headwater. Piracy is killing the music business. Album sales are a nightmare and millions of would-be consumers are now low-life thieves who prefer to steal from the starving creator, than pay to support their craft. This, of course, is how the heads of the music i...

The PledgeMusic's of the world, they raise the capital for new projects; the Patronisms of the world provide continuing cash flow. Sorta opposite sides of the same coin.
A service that offered both propositions would be ideal. Can you say "merger" ?
Thanks,

PledgeMusic's Benji Rogers On Going Beyond Fan Funding To Power Album Campaigns
PledgeMusic is a unique web service for indie musicians and labels that, in my opinion, faces a bit of an identity crisis. When I recently spoke with founder Benji Rogers, he maintained that they are not a fan funding company, though most musicians perceive them as one. I am sympathetic. Yet ...
