I was always against the idea of middle man. WTF? Talent representative, recruiter and all this bullshit!
You love writing music so why do you need a freakin agent and sign contract for 3 years with this agent?
They tell you what to write and what sells and you have to take this BS?!
From creative artist you turn into a whore!
Well not anymore – thanks to an example of NIN!
Of late, Reznor has openly embraced file-sharing as a means to obtain his band’s music, telling fans in Australia to “steal it. Steal away. Give it to your friends.” In May, he sounded off on music pricing and packaging after he discovered “Year Zero” was selling for nearly U.S. $30 in Australia.
I hope that’s where the music industry is heading – free of agents!!!
