Re: [linux-audio-user] POLL: Marketing Free Music

Yeah that's the hard question, because different people here have different priorities: -freedom of software -low (or no) price -tipping culture -anti-DRM -ogg-v-mp3 -bypassing the distribution chain -bypassing the record companies/advertising companies/singles charts/MTV awards industry -freedom to remix (among others?), and everyone here has at least two points of view: -as a consumer -as an artist It will be hard to integrate all of these priorities. For me, (as a consumer) anti-DRM and (as an artist) bypassing record companies are most important. As for a name, I agree that "web releasing musician" is a bit unwieldy, and "PIZZA" and "ECS-files" would require a bit too much explanation! "netlabel" is a term that already has some currency - could we use that or a variant? And finally, regarding the word "Free" (which will certainly confuse lots of consumers, as discussed in the other "Marketing Free Music" thread): why not "Libre"? The French don't have these free-as-in-beer/free-as-in-freedom misunderstandings. "Netlabel Libre"
