MySpace launches online music purchases (Download Squad)

Sep 5th 2006 2:00PM this IS great on so many different levels! w/o sounding cliche', the label are not in control, and the artists can do whatever they want - release OLD tracks, release JUST finished tracks, release tracks everyone told them was crap, etc etc.

i envision a shift from LABELS to music PORTALs, i.e. communities based on a genre, where they filter out the crap, or make EVERYTHING available to the audience, or something in between; cut out the labels, cut out the online stores taking half the profit of sales, and focusing on promoting talent while supporting them w/ monetary compensation.
