Final thoughts on 360 degree deals

I promise, this is the last of my multiple rights ramblings...

Let's be real, the 360 degree deal is not going to work in the future, well maybe for superstar artists, but not the rest. It is a system used by corporations and artists to first and foremost make money, not music, at least not quality music. All these companies care about is making a single/album radio friendly, and not meaningful and artistic, which is what they should be focusing on. Thank heavens for the Internet, for blogs, free downloads, myspace music, and even p2p for getting indie artists out there. If these deals were the way of the future, then indie artists would not even have a chance at making it big without the Internet.
