The business of indy bands

A nice short post from the lessig blog, with a happy ending for a disgruntled napster user, points to an excellent resource for indie bands.

Beatnik Turtle has published an Indie Band Survival Guide. They tout it as a guide to everything that they've learned so far about the music industry. And it's free.

There's some great stuff on copyright, promotion, contracts with major labels and more. You don't even need to be a musician to appreciate this. It gives a lot of insight into how the music industry works, and what it takes to maybe even make some money as an independent band.
