Wow, this is bad news for both artists and fans like us. Less options for artists to release music means less of a chance that they'll even drop. If they are lucky enough to even get signed, how supportive will the labels be if the artist isnt as successful as they expect the first go round.

It just means that artists and labels (example, No Limit) will have to turn to indy options and or embrace the internet (instead of fighting it) and adjust marketing accordingly. Its just a sign of the times. Shits about the change even more drastically then they already have.

It is NOT bad news for the fans. Innovative and creative people take bad times and suceed in them. There will be some new upstart companies, or smaller labels, or maybe even a total revolution in the music industry to come out of this. Anytime something is going BAD, if you're creative enough, you can fill the gap and turn it into a positive, getting rich in the process. Somebody or some idea or system will step up to the plate and just go crazy with this. Maybe an internet delivery system, or a smaller label with cheaper cd's, or something. I dunno.

nah.. they're fuckin up!

i think internet distribution is gonna come waaaay up in the game.

its already happening. people are breaking off and making + pressing their own shit.

i think people should hook up with the major online retailers like amazon etc etc in each country and they dont need to distribute state to state, you ship to the central depot and they handle that shit for you!

just like daz did with cduniverse when ppl lost faith with the dpgrecs paypal bs (wheres my dvd daz?).. i hear they drove their shit straight from the cd pressing people to cduniverse's hq.. 1 journey for them gave worldwide internet distribution, think about it.
