There is definitely need for a new business model if the music industry are to stay around. Right now about %10 of music is being sold online and in 2012 it’s expected to be 40%.

The crazy thing to me however Is that a digital song costs the same as a cd, while there is no cost of copying, storing or delivering it (almost).

I think whoever will embrace this fact of the digital media and pass on that saving or earning to the ones actually deserving it will have a HUGE advantage compare to their competitors.

Cheaper music or more money to the struggling artist please… not just more money to the corporate machine.
