Musicians and Royalties

How can an artist make a living in a digital world, especially a musician? With the RIAA like the Catholic Church, spending vast amounts of resources on litigation, and even hinting that they may have to decrease royalties to artists to cover their costs, musicians should be thinking about viable alternatives to the big media company model of trickledown economics. David Byrne has a thoughtful piece called Survival Strategies for Emerging Artists—and Megastars over at Wired. There's also an interesting sidebar conversation between DB and Radiohead's Thom Yorke on how RH is marketing In Rainbows, first as a pay what you wish download, then as a packaged CD in January.
