That's One Way To Make Money In Music

Post by The Grim Squeaker »

A little-known band from Scotland has given up on selling its music to consumers after making 500,000 pounds from one of its songs being used in TV ads and movies.
The band, Looper, says they've made enough from the song to support themselves for the past four years, and can now just give their music away to fans rather than worry about selling it.
So while labels try to make money by distributing rootkits [SONY], some bands are pursuing alternate business models.
Cool
Nice to read something like this :)

Genius is always allowed some leeway, once the hammer has been pried from its hands and the blood has been cleaned up.
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
