The only problem I could see would be the cheeky rapper who uploads 178 "tracks" of 60 second rymes just to get a larger share. technicialy he could argue they are still vaild songs. How would you plan to deal with this? However I am intrested and would like to hear more... www.kilotone.com Hi Chip,

I am launching a web site called Music Share Records. It is a 100% donation based MP3 distribution site nothing new...right? Well...100% of the donated income will be split monthly between all artists sharing music on the site on a pro rata basis. Meaning you will be paid a percentage of the income based on your percentage of the total songs shared on the site. I am also looking at the same sharing of income format for advertising and licening income as well. The artists pay a one time set up / maintenance fee of $25.00 which covers setting up and maintaining their artist page, uploading their tunes to the server etc...they never pay anything else. It basically covers my time to set them up and make any updates (including adding music) to their page. In my opinion this model promotes creativity in the artists because the more music you create and share the more income you can potentially earn and it also supports the concept of strength in numbers. Everyone benefits from the collective efforts of all of the artists, their fans and the label itself. It doesn't matter how many times your music is downloaded you can still earn income just by sharing your music on the site. Yes a certain percentage of people will not donate and just take the music...in my opinion they are acting as the distribution arm of the site because they may tell someone about the music and site who will donate. The best an indie artists can ask for is their music being heard by as many people as possible. Any income derived from that quest is a bonus. If you have any questions or comments I'd love to here them! Cheers, Chip Gall - Founder Music Share Records chip@musicsharerecords.com For what it’s worth here is what I am proposing.

I am still thinking this through at my blog http://blog.timelineonline.org/2007/12/record-label-20.html But if you think about say 15% of music listeners are hard core music fans who if appoached correctly could sell or promote your music to the other 85%. In exchange the artist gives that 15% freebies or as I would prefer incentives to do what they will most likely do anyways. Many of the 85% will gladly pay upwards of $15 for that cd that is being remixed as we talk. Bring into that the ability to utilize close to 50% of your fan base to create things like music videos or supply you with song reviews for promotional purposes. You can see music is moving towards not only customization but full artist fan interaction. Granted the future will always be based on what actually gets utilized.

Is it related to the kinda stuff Seth says in his blog . . . and scotts saying right there above me? Maybe there's an element of blind faith, but without blowing my own horn I try to reflect on my own web 2.0 successes. 18 months ago I was scraping together a living out of running a poster print and distribution service for gigs etc., but ever since I became a web 2.0 and social media outfitter for muso's entertainers and beyond, things have been going almost uncontrollably well. I'd be signing up for the 40 pound deal if I wasn't already struggling to cope with demand and growth management. Oh and that Dubber would probably tell everyone I'm a spammer. But I'm like charlton heston on it. "Automation" doesn't spam people. People spam people. :p When Andrew and Gerd were duking it out earlier it really put the shits up me. First I was like - "sure dubber, when musics free we'll all be listening to coldplay". But the more I thought about it the more worrying it became. I'm positive innovative thinking and exploring diverse revenue streams will pay off, as I've already seen personally, especially as traditional advertising as a marketing technique becomes more passe. here's some recent stuff from my blogs - firstly on me: http://kurbpromotion.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/working-backwards-from-success-content-and-trust/ and rather than picking on Jay Z like everyone else I picked up on the puff daddy 360 thing instead: http://kurbpromotion.wordpress.com/2007/11/21/new-models-puff-daddy-360-deals-ancillary-earnings/ I like what Ludwigs saying.
