I think King George is starting to realize the issue.  The Globe (or NYT?)
had an article about a new band that was signed for 2-3 songs.  *Not* an
album.  They realize the album is going away.  People are buying songs, not
albums.  They're just trying to hang onto the old ways as long as possible.

I think many musicians will go the way of Ani DiFranco and self
produce/publish/distribute.  Much of the big companies' profit comes from
creative accounting with musician's royalties.

Some niches will be too small for the big companies and small ones will rush
in.  Folk music has been going this way as the biggies abandon it.
