We have a solution called the Megakey that will allow artists to earn income from users who download music for free. Yes that’s right, we will pay artists even for free downloads. The Megakey business model has been tested with over a million users and it works. You can expect several Megabox announcements next year including exclusive deals with artists who are eager to depart from outdated business models.

You need to understand that some labels are run by arrogant and outdated dinosaurs who have been in business for 1000 years. These guys think an iPad is a facial treatment, the Internet is the devil, and wired phones are still hip. They are in denial about the new realities and opportunities. They don’t understand that the rip-off days are over. Artists are more educated than ever about how they are getting ripped off and how the big labels only look after themselves.

It’s stuff like this that makes me so interested in politics. The emerging and burgeoning internet market place is just one component of the new Digital Age. It’s also interesting to view the parallels between this economic transformation and those of the past. We are moving from the industrial revolution into the digital age in the same way we developed out of the agricultural era into the industrial one. The government will always be used as shelter from the ever changing economic landscape.
