I blame the musicians...it is easy to blame the terrorists, but there will always be terrorists...so instead I blame those who sign contracts with the terrorists knowing that they would do better on their own.

The problem is the music industry has a glitz that gives a jump start over what a garage band could do in ten or twenty years. The downside being the middleman who not only takes his cut but also dictates artist actions (when to record vs concert dates for instance) which the artist must pay for with little input as to venue or costs

the indi "label" sites are making it easier to make and sell music but larger venues require funds and organization not available to unsigned bands.
