Musicians Looking To Let Internet Replace Record Cos


At least, that's the headline which Dow Jones ran for this story. Most everyone else who ran this AP story used the tamer headline: Musicians Unveil Digital 'Manifesto'.

They are taking advantage of the general chaos in the space, and the apparent cluelessness of the big labels vis-a-vis the internet.
