I recently listened to this great podcast by Jeff Price, the founder of TuneCore.
http://www.podfeed.net/podcast/Sell+Your+Music+Not+Your+Soultechnology+changes+everything/6351
[For those who dont know, TuneCore is a website that allows anyone to put their music out there on iTunes, Amazon, Napster, or any popular music downloading site. Tunecore.com]
In this podcast, Jeff discusses why he founded TuneCore, and also his experience with Spin Art Records. He believes that the internet and other modern technology has had a very positive effect on the music industry, since it has exponentially simplified how an unknown artist can get their music out there. He continues to discuss the huge advantages presented by TuneCore and other such sites.
Being an independent musician myself, this website is helpful beyond words. I have many friends with their albums on iTunes thanks to this website.
So new technology's not allllll bad...

I see how the internet can be useful for obscure artists. But at the same time doesn't it seems like it would hurt profits of better known artists?
