Real Fans Pay!!!!
Hi Guys,
I am posting this because I am fedup with the push towards "free" music promoted in the media and on certain web portals who make advertising money off the back of our music but give us pennies (or zero!) in return!
iTunes, Prince and Mcfly have completely devalued the worth of the "album" by breaking it down into only the most catchy songs (iTunes) or giving it away for free!
I believe that a lot of Independent Artists write their music as an album, something to be heard in it's entirety and something which they can then sell and earn a living from - NOT something to be streamed, downloaded or given away for free or for pennies via the major networks who make their money from advertising to the fans we bring to their site!
My name's Sarah and I am behind the Real Fans Pay Campaign on MySpace. If you want to join in the discussion around independent artists and labels earning a living from our music then please visit myspacedotcom/realfanspay and voice your feelings!
See you there
