Submission for Ignite Phoenix #2
Turned in my submission for Ignite Phoenix #2 on October 29, 2008. Decided my topic should be:
“Why the [traditional] music industry is f*cked!!”
Lets face it, the [traditional] music industry is f*cked! For too many years, they’ve raped musicians, while screwing music consumers out of every last penny they could! I mean, $18 for a CD that cost 5 cents to make? C’mon!! WTF?!?! While the iTunes music store proven that digital music downloads could be turned into a viable business, even Apple is threatening that any change to the business model could force them to shut down the iTunes music store. The reality is, the traditional music industry just doesn’t work anymore. We need new solutions, and a new business model. We need a solution that helps musicians to earn a living from their music, whether they live in Nashville, or Nambia. We need a solution that helps fight global poverty in the process. This is “Social Entrepreneurship Applied to the Music Business.”

Hi Cuervo,
Thanks for the comment! We were referring to the city of Nambia in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (map) not the country of Namibia. Glad someone is keeping us honest though! Really appreciate it!
