I was just catching up on some reading (i.e. pouring over blogs and news stories)... and thought I would share a link to this article...
An interview with one of this year's Indie pop poster children
Wilco (Wired news).
Tweedy talks about downloads, drm, lawsuits and free music and even gave a nod to allow fans CC style monkeying with their tunes.
Some favorite quotes include:
"I don't believe every download is a lost sale."
" Stop trying to treat music like it's a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can't be cheap, either. "
"A piece of art is not a loaf of bread."
