A continuation on the post by guest author Josh Belville that can be found here — http://artistshousemusic.tumblr.com/post/60148410/viewing-piracy-in-a-new-light
Reference to the Ian Roger commentary on the new music business equation — good take and how it affects artists.
The first music profile of one of Artists House’s readers — Josh Belville — and a free mp3 of his music. Check it out
interesting take on musebin — a twitterlike music review site
From the artists house vault, two takes on sampling, and a link to a great ‘beginner’s guide’ as well
This blog post offers an alternative view on music piracy — highly insightful with some great comments on the post itself.
Gerd Leonard posted a great video on his blog Media Futurist about The Crowd and The Cloud. Quote from the blog:

“Yes, indeed. A CROWD of 1.5 Billion people on the Net, plus 3.5 Billion people on mobile phones. A computing CLOUD that allows endless storage of, and access to, content, media, data, software, MYStuff, at ever lower cost pretty anytime anywhere….”

This is the kind of thing that makes a budding online entrepreneur in the music industry hopeful. I read concepts like this and I know that today is the first day of the rest of my life.
