Nelly Furtado is starting her own indie career, even helping new artists create their own indie labels, and Adam Yauch is getting involved in indie film distribution. Well hey, maybe we’re on our way to a brand new day.

Risa’s link to this Gotham Jungle article is the beginning of a discussion worth having. The dichotomy of major vs. indie isn’t a very accurate one.

Well, we blogged a lot of these Canadian ideas about music licensing during POP and Policy and they seem to be making their way into the mainstream debates down south, if only as a foil to the hamfisted madness of current sue-the-music-lover practices. Not usually one to be dubious about utopia (I’m pro-utopia!) I have [...]

Moby’s made some good tracks over the years, you gotta admit it, and yeah, he made money getting them in commercials like crazy, but now he’s done a cool license trick to give something back – over 70 of his tracks have recently been published on a section of his site called MobyGratis with a [...]
