      So excited!! I also posted the link to your page in my media class. We are actually on the subject of music and the recording industry, and I thought this would be perfect to direct them all to. :)

      Creator Ramon on November 10, 2012

      Yeah, here's hoping you make it. You should really send this out to some more geeky blogs. Somehow geeks (like me) are also the people who are willing to pay up! Blogs like Geeks are sexy might give it a go!

      Creator Wade Roush on November 9, 2012

      There's been so much coverage of the digital revolution in music from the point of view of the labels and the listeners, but not so much from the point of view of the artists themselves. I hope you get a chance to finish this! Meanwhile I've included you guys in my Xconomy article "10 Kickstarter Projects Every Geek Should Support." Good luck.

      I just finished writing my master's thesis that to a large part is about recent developments within the music industry. I hope you'll be talking about streaming platforms like Spotify, as some experts say that those are the future of music distribution. Money isn't primarily made through music sales, but instead through live shows and licenses.

      I can also recommend these two books, if you're interested:

      Patrik Wikstrom: The Music Industry
      David Kusek & Gerd Leonhard: The Future of Music

      I went to school for music business, and from what I learned this is a documentary that needs to be out there! Good luck to you guys, and I hope this project gets funded.
