David Byrne and Thom Yorke: The Real Value of Music

[ibobunot]

Byrne: What about bands that are just getting started?
"Don't sign a huge contract that strips you of all your digital rights ..."

Yorke: Well, first and foremost, you don't sign a huge record contract that strips you of all your digital rights, so that when you do sell something on iTunes you get absolutely zero. That would be the first priority. If you're an emerging artist, it must be frightening at the moment. Then again, I don't see a downside at all to big record companies not having access to new artists, because they have no idea what to do with them now anyway.
