When asked why he originally parted ways with Interscope Records and abandoned the traditional record company models, he offered: “Well [pauses], that time would’ve been about two thousand…eight-ish, somewhere in that neighborhood, and, the true reality of that situation was: the record deal that we had signed years and years before had escalating advances based on the current state of the industry when that was negotiated. Meanwhile, the industry has collapsed, and those advances didn’t make any sense for the record label at that point. They were astronomical compared to what an expected return would be. We were kind of presented with the situation of, “Hey, if you wanna stay here, let’s renegotiate something that’s more realistic for us in terms of an advance, or, do it on your own.” Now, at that time in my life, it felt very much like, “OK. The record business is broken. The model is broken.” I’d go through periods of having to look in the mirror and say, “Let’s see. I just made an album I spent a year working on. I turned it over to the record label to get manufactured. It leaked, and I’m online, just boiling furious, at fans who’re talking about how much they love this new album, that they just stole.” And then I’d think, “Wait a minute. They’re not standing outside my house, bootlegging copies out the back of their van, y’know, to make money. They’re sharing their excitement about songs I’ve written, and music I’ve done. And they’re excited about it. And I’m pissed off at ‘em, because what? y'know, I've always hated Trent as a singer, but always repsoected his business-man mind. Though I'm not capitalistic, he's good at that kind of thing. He makes great points, but as he says, his whole point is that shit is a bit fuckered, and even he can't think of a viable solution. And, well, he pretty much says the same thing I was saying, we need a new business model. We need a way of pleasing the artists and the audience. Who's left out? The middle man, the record companies. Now, either THEY come up with a good idea, or get cut out of the deal. But I'm sure there's a way to keep Indie Labels, who tend to be style oriented and therefore a great reference to the type of music you love, to keep the artists happy and alive with a liveable income, and to keep the audience happy with readily available music, free or not. Along with that, material to balance out the income, as always, like concerts, merchandise, special packaging for physical discs, etc. Just because artists make music for love of it, doesn't mean they should starve to death just 'cause they have a psychological fuck that make them addicted to creating things. So, people should stop arguing about right and wrong, and just find a damn solution before it all gets way out of hand. |

As I said earlier, people want MORE than just recordings on a piece of plastic, now. We need to give them something unique. That is the key. Something that they aren't able to download. |
