I took the first steps for a similar thing in Spain a couple of years ago. Laws here are different so the problem to solve might not be the same. Anyway, the conclusion was that it's a hardware problem. It's possible, even easy, to atract musicians, but you need to offer a wider set of services than hosting. Then it became some sort of chicken-egg problem (because of higher needs for funding) and faded away.
- cturner 18y agoInteresting. If you're in London at any point in near future and want to catch up send me a message. Did you end up with any content? And if so, can we stick it in my system? :)
- narag 18y agoHow do you send a message here? I don't travel much, and spoken English is difficult for me. But if you want some more details, I'm nico.aragon at gmail. I'm on holydays so my connectivity is random, be patient. I didn't gather any content. The idea was to create a complete service for young groups and later trying to attract some stars, I thought that I would do the online and legal parts and my cofounder the musical part. In the end I was researching everything. I had a regular work, so I gave up when I found out that external funding was a need.
