A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

A shameless bump.
There has now been a thorough research conducted in Norway. Compared to 10 years ago, the average income of a norwegian musician is now 66% higher. It is proven that smaller acts are profiting more these days but the premium acts has less income. it is also proven that the only ones that is REALLY loosing out compared to ten years ago are the traditional record companies.
So there you go.

Yeah, I WISH I had had this much independence and options for distribution 35 years ago.
I knew Trent back when he was a nobody.

Re: Is filesharing the death of music; Trent Reznors model
as always, it's the same problem of how to get your product in front of the audience that will pay for it.
yes, there are more potential opportunities, but most are a shot in the dark, without a proper campaign and funding, just like always.
from what i've seen, and my point of view is tempered by how much i suck, there are more and more people putting petty efforts out and real, bill paying work is hard to find for the majority of those willing to put in a real effort. the only exceptions are those who are well connected, for whatever reason, and the cream of the crop. in the Los Angeles area, there is a lot of money out there, but it's big money for a few and scraps spread out among way too many slackers. the middle, work-a-day money, the real, fair wages for anyone actually willing to work that historically was plentiful is gone.
i'm not complaining, however fair or unfair the game is, but it's pretty obvious. if there are tons of songs to be purchased and many of them are worth buying, they're naturally worth less than if an industry limits what's available(which was laways more than the public could consume). if venures for music are closed down by economics and alcohol laws and cable television and the general ignorance of the population of how to have a good time, or that live music is a good time, or by incompetent booking agents and/or self centered musicians, then the nightly work that was always there isn't available and it's really hard to make an honest living with an instrument. well, i knew the job was dangerous when i took it.
i'm sure it's better in your town.

In Copenhagen it is better than ever before. Here's more live music shows available than ever before.
Filesharing may be the death of a certain business model, but music as an art form is thriving like never before.
The way I see it, the last 20 years has been an explosion of musical creativity, that people will be looking back on as a turning point in music history. Fueled by the internet, computers and the availability of music software, ready at hand for everybody who has a computer, the will to make music and the drive to share it with the world - you don't even have to know how to play an instrument. At least not in a traditional sense.
