From my perspective (an online marketing guy), the most relevant point is that experimentation and an absolute disregard for the traditional rules is essential for artists (and affiliated companies) looking to survive and thrive in the evolving music space. Free is key - music is now the marketing tool instead of simply being a retail commodity. It's nice of course when it can be both, but there are very few tools as effective in creating awareness and interest as the music itself. Give fans a taste, and if it's delicious they'll be back, cash in hand. I linked to and discussed this briefly on my blog as well (www.musicbusinessblog.com).

Let's let it die already with any dignity that it might still have. Entropy. I await the results of the next research study, entitled: “Does the Music ‘Business’ Really NEED Saving?” :)
