Your guess is as good as mine! But one of the most successful indie labels I know was started by someone with no experience at all in music - but lots of experience in digital marketing.

Because labels run properly have great data to market more effectively, and can spin up tried and trusted playbooks, because they tend to be genre specialists. An electronic artist won't sign to a folk label - but a folk artist signing

There are lots of smaller independent record labels making good money from streaming - and some making really quite large amounts of money from streaming, often with very small teams. A lot of people talk about tiny payments from streaming,

A lot of Guardian readers excoriate the Daily Mail as low quality clickbait and "not journalism", whilst seeming perfectly content to suckle from the teats of the Guardian's own clickbait farm, presumably comforting themselve

I always find it strange that the “wealth” of people like Larry Ellison is based on the public market price of their companies. He owns 42% or Oracle, and so there is no way that he could realise that value at current market rates. Oracle h

I can’t exactly pinpoint what it is about this but I can’t help feeling that there’s a certain irony in you taking a screenshot of a perfectly readable, accessible post on here and posting that as (to my mind) a less readable less accessibl

Interesting. I’ve been feeling for the past couple of months that Apple Weather is wildly inaccurate suddenly, and when I’ve mentioned this to a few other people they’ve all said “what, you too? I thought it was just me!” That could just be

I own a b2b news company. It's not big, but in the sector it operates it's fairly influential. We never really bothered much with social media. We've recently been doing a more there, and treating it as a content destination,

That’s a bit of an oversimplification. Smaller creators who are making music absolutely can and do benefit from the fees that pass through the “monopoly license fee holders” - collective management organisations. For example in the UK if

Hold the line music is absolutely copyrighted in a way that you can’t post a conversation containing that music to a channel that you are monetising, without compensating the creators of the music.

If you’re that worried about domain expiry then how on earth can your registrar offer a warranty that satisfies you? Registrars can go bust. Hosts can go bust.

This is not true. The artist signs a deal with a promoter for a show. The promoter owns the tickets and can sell them how they wish. Depending on the deal the artist does with the promoter they may get a fixed fee or they may get a fixed fe

I don’t know - here in the U.K. it’s getting fairly significant coverage on BBC, Sky News etc. The Today Programme on Radio 4 (which is the “definitive” establishment news programme) has been covering it quite a lot.

No, but they will likely see topline coverage in big media - and then their takeaway of that topline may well be “SBF wrote a blog saying FTX was solvent and administrators could refund customers but haven’t”

Softening toilet water means there’s less limes SLE build up in the bowl and around the rim which means the toilet is easier to clean. Softening cleaning water means your clothes come out - well, quite literally softer. And last longer.
