One of our main missions as a group is to solve music industry problems that need solving. But what about the problems that don’t need solving? When does a problem just become a festering lump that needs to be thrown out rather than fixed? We talk about that and other goings on in this episode, including Silk Road and the dark web, Distrokid and the strange state of digital music distribution, DeliRadio’s massive influx of cash, and The Music Business Association (say what?).
As always, shoot us an email, tweet at us, or drop a comment on the blog.
