The industry is changing

It's not quite clear what the final business model will look like, but the fact is that the music industry is changing at a frenetic pace. In fact, there will probably be many models depending on the status and state of the entity producing the music. The traditional labels are struggling to figure out where they will wind up and if they don't soon I know where they will, the scrap heap.

If you remember this post, Trent Reznor dedicates quite a bit of time to this issue in the interview and what he has to say is lucid, interesting and in my view dead on.
