i wonder if this trend will end up taking $ away from the artists in the long run and is actually a model to put the $ that is being lost on cd sales back into the hands of the big companies. anyone notice that she is now a shareholder in Live Nation and that, I'm guessing, has nothing to do with the $120mil deal and although financially savvy for her, the "model" probably won't be financially savvy for smaller lesser known bands/artists/musicians.

 

am i being pesimistic today or what?
