Los Angeles Entertainment Attorney: Indie Labels May Be Better For You Than A Major Deal

[chrisssttina]

Thanks for the video! Love it! I've been looking into going into entertainment law, it's really interesting how much has changed due to the internet and technology in such a short time. I was wondering what you think has changed the most and how has that effected your practice/ day to day work.

[rbjefferson]

@chrisssttina the entire industry had changed in the last 10 years due to the internet. I think it has somewhat leveled the playing field because a good artist can instantly get exposure without a label's help. We now do more work involving entertainment coupled with technology...there is very little traditional record label work out there anymore.

[chrisssttina]

@rbjefferson I realize that this is very delayed but, I just wanted to say thanks for the reply! Hope you're staying busy!

Record sales are down because of the internet making CD's obsolete. I personally believe all music should be free because then it sorts out the artist who want to make music and the artists who want to make money.

[TheEmceeY]

@MrCutpaste ...but then the artists who want to make music would have to get another job and have less time to make music. Also, the record companies would collapse, as it TAKES money to make albums/ distribute. Just an overall bad idea.

@MrCutpaste

i dont think all music should be free...that's just stupid its our living man...we don't want to be starved..support the artists u like buy their cds, and help good artists keep making music!

FUCK A RECORD DEAL ..

How do you feel about people getting signed or discovered off YouTube? The Record Business is kinda tough!

[msladyq2]

I feel you all the way. It's so hard to get ppl in an entrepreneurial mindset. I look forward to staying in touch..Ms.Lady Q

Thank you, Brother, for you sound advice. I really would prefer an independent distribution deal than a major label deal.

I can't believe your clip only has 526 views(1/23/08). Wanna-be artist are too busy chasing after fantasy rather than aquiring sound business sense . Thanks for the clip Counsel!
