I think it's a great idea. The way that record labels drop artists, it's about time some of the them start to get their due share. Record labels will drop an artist that was once their ace in the hole and not even think twice about it. It's all about money. But that goes both ways.

Personally, I think that many labels are circling the drain because of decreased sales from file sharing. Although we will always be able to buy CD products from labels, the future is like what the Dead are doing and downloading via the internet. Not .coms like Napster, WinMX etc., but from legitimate sources like the record labels or the artists themselves.

Will be interesting for sure to see how things change in the next decade or so.
