I see that Magnatune is keeping 50 per cent of the artistes sales. I wonder if a time will come when they are seen as another unneeded middleman like the music industry. Yeah, and what is it with you inq guys doing all your interviews down the pub. This really doesn't scan. "However, in the past two years, when sales were declining, our listenership tripled", what?

Kudos to Magnatunes for sticking at it through the lean years and showing the old guard of the music industry how it should be done now. I've been listning on their site on and off and definitely thinking of signing up now. Not trying to be a critic but is there something missing out of this article. I don't seem to follow the logic of what the guy is saying at the beginning. Anyway, time to go home and digitize the sad remainder of my obsolete CD collection!
