Free is Not Enough
The music industry is ailing, but an ambitious guitarist has hatched a genius new revenue model for struggling musicians. It’s not enough to give your songs away for free on the internet: you have to pay the listeners. A satire by Scott Blaszak, featuring Pace Rommel. With voiceover by Mark Price and music by John Delore and Jay Frederick.
