Tom Silverman: What's Wrong with the Music Business

Tom Sliverman of Tommy Boy Records - and old acquaintance of mine from my days in NYC - has a very interesting idea about how to change the adversarial relationship between labels and artists: Have record deals work in the form of LLC entities. There is also a lot of depressing stuff if you think the internet is a good way to develop music sales, but you should read the whole thing if you intend to make a career out of music.

The LLC idea isn't for those of us so far out of the commercial main stream though.

Oh well.
