Just another little angle on this discussion..lets all forget about the money side of things here,or the "ethics" or whatever,i have a question for Ron from Blazetrack...What is your "take" on the current situation the Music Industry is in at the present time,do you agree or disagree,with the technology at hand,downloading,piracy,file sharing,music streaming..etc etc, and that the present model as we know it, is going to eat itself,and Ron,in the real world what chance has an outsider(songwriter) breaking into the inner sanctum of the big clique,when the alarm bells are ringing loud and clear thru' their closed doors..as the "cake" is definately getting smaller,and shrinking daily,your an honest guy,give us an honest answer,in your opinion,how does the outsider get a piece of the ever diminishing "action".....Terry...
