Music has been much of interest to me and this Article really, “opened” you might say, my eyes with these business labels and stuff. I guess business really is business to most companies, anyway who wouldn’t if a large pile of money would be waiting for you after all the deed is done.

To add up, I didn’t have a clue that Pearl Jam sued its touring company. Thanks for the info.

yes, attagirl. i think that we can not really avoid exploitations. but that also helps many artists and bands to stay alive in the music industry. you see, there are still a lot of old bands and artists who are in the music business for how many years, even until now.

this is a very interesting article. indie music has been very popular. and it is good that many people appreciate different kinds of music. well, i think that artists are just something making things to survive in the music business and this exploitation also helps them in their career.

You know I enjoyed reading this article. I think that most everyone has their view of the indy scene and how it it has changed over the years, what it meant to each one and how it will continue for a very long time.

I think you are right when you say that “it is disgusting how the companies have continued to exploit and undermine the artists”. But you also have to keep in mind that some of those people are allowing it to happen. Why do you think so many artists have made their own labels or went to independent labels.

An interesting piece. It’s fascinating to see how the definition of indie has changed over the years, and the bands that have had such an impact on the industry.

It is disgusting how the companies have continued to exploit and undermine the artists, who really are the ones who are keeping the industry alive. The artists know what the listeners want - the ‘labels’ are almost redundant these days.

The 90’s opened up door that were not heard of yet and brought many bands the opportunity to expose themselves in ways they had never thought possible. The internet however has made it easier for bands to be heard and make sales without a big label. So the doors now opened for many other bands that are just starting out.

Very clever writing, open and hard core. I like the fact that it is different.
