Yes, I agree with you, it’s nothing new …

The way it happens today is much more : bands releasing first their music on the internet for free without drm, and eventually afterwards, gets access to traditional channels get a revenue share of the fees.

And what happens here is installed bands join these new scheme.

What is sad in this story, is the feeling that this movement towards free culture (I know it’s no CC licensing in this case) is based on :
Nothing to loose
when it is in fact
Everything to win !
