An artist’s copyrights should be respected. The choice to charge or
give away his or her creations should be up to the artist, and the
artist alone.
When you cut through all the press releases and rhetoric of the RIAA,
it boils down to getting the legally required licenses and paying the
people (or entities) that control the copyrights to the songs and
recordings. I could not agree more.
One of the many problems I have with the RIAA is not their supporting
this fundamental principle, but their tactics and blatant disregard for
anyone who is not one of their members. Suing grandma and college
students is probably not the best idea. Pretending the world has not
changed and everything should stay the same makes no sense. In
addition, in many cases their positions and actions stifle revenue while
slowing the growth and consumption of music. But what gets me most
upset is this:

THIS IS A MUST READ!
By Jon Ostrow of MicControl.com
Musicians are entrepreneurs whether they want to believe it or not. By writing music under a band name, pen name or even just their own name, they have effectively created a brand that must be properly marketed if it is to thrive and flourish. But there-in lies a major problem: not all musicians know everything about marketing and they will eventually make some critical mistakes that lead to the demise of their short-lived venture. It is, however, the musicians who take the time to learn from past mistakes made by other musicians, and furthermore learn to correct these mistakes, that are the ones who build up the kind of influential brand that has lasting power.
These are 15 potentially crippling, yet ultimately avoidable marketing mistakes that are all too commonly made by the emerging music community, along with tips to help you as an artist to overcome and succeed in the best way possible:

How To Post A Perfect Press Kit On Your Website
Via Cyber PR Urban
I’m often amazed when I go to an artist’s website, and I look around, and I’m trying to find basic press information and I can’t. It seems that in the age of Twitter, Facebook, and Facebook Fan pages, and constantly focusing on your two-way conversations, we’ve forgotten the important basics.
Cyber PR President Ariel Hyatt breaks down the essential things you need to post your press kit on your website.
How To Post A Perfect Press Kit On Your Website
This is a revised excerpt from my book, Music Success in Nine Weeks, and it talks about an asset that no matter what we all face with new digital solutions, new platforms and apps that we’re going to be forced to learn, we should always remember: Your press kit. It’s up to you to post your press information clearly and succinctly, so that you’re easy to find and write about.
Posting an accessible press kit to share with journalists and new media makers ( bloggers, podcasters, etc.) is good common sense.
