  • and the artist gets at least some money.
  • Well, it has potential. But if you're independent and unknown, how would you get more than your mom to download your album from your equally as unknown site?

    And even if a band did get some minimal traction, I'm thinking they'd still scrap this model at the first sign of a record deal. But, at the same time, I've heard record deals can be pretty bad from the standpoint of the artist.

    I guess the question is, how much traffic / downloads / pay would you need as an artist to stick with this model over the traditional? I'm assuming there's no one right answer; it varies widely.
