The chaps over at Coolfer are linking to an interesting story about Billy Bragg's comments on sites that use musicians to drive traffic towards advertisement-ridden web pages but don't remunerate the musos themselves.
This takes me back down my memory lane to what I like to call the golden age of MP3 with the original MP3.com which ran a payback-for-playback scheme where artists were paid from a pool generated by advertising for their playback. I still have my first royalty check . . . sigh
