>Sources at the majors say they're hopeful the remix-monetization deals will help set apart SoundCloud while maintaining the atmosphere that has made it so popular.
...I've got to admit that I don't like SoundCloud as a DJ mix platform, but this 'remix monetization' concept doesn't set SoundCloud apart considering Apple just recently announced its partnership with Dubset. At least in the Apple/Dubset model the remix creator (DJ/Producer) gets a bit of revenue. So that kind of even makes the SoundCloud offering look less competitive, from a creator standpoint. SoundCloud has been good for 'exposure' like radio, but unless they start paying the population of musicians/creators/etc in addition to the big name labels then they'll get some due skepticism.
