It was an example of something where “artists” cannot come with something original but they want to come with something anyway just to make more money. There are thousands of other examples of “business models” like this. As long as music will be seen as a business there will always be new businessmen who will come with anything just to make thousands of dollars.
Investments made in something like this should be investments in a hobby not in a business.

Making music should be a hobby not a business. How much of the money we pay for music gets invested to make more music? Don’t say they have to buy equipment because the equipment they buy does not expire and does not get eaten. It remains there to be used again. They have bills to pay for their hobby and so does everyone else. Does anyone expect his money back for the time wasted, electricity bills and the cost of a DVD that has a blairwitch 1 clone “missing tapes that were found” on it? No, because it’s a hobby.
“Artists” who make 1 k of albums a year invest in marketing not in making more music. I’ll not be surprised if they’ll start making albums in the “missing audio tapes that were found” style just to fix their album count to make more money. They should get a real job.
RIAA exists because we all accepted to pay too much for music.

I’ve been using jamendo for over a year and until now I didn’t even realize it had a donations button….
So at least part of the problem on jamendo might be visibility and the fact that it’s not oriented towards collecting donations considering that I didn’t even realize you could donate.
