This rumor has been out for a while, but now there's speculation of an announcement coming as soon as January 15th at the Macworld expo. Jay-Z has also just announced that he is stepping down as president of Def Jam and is interested in working on a new label model. In my experience, labels and the accompanying 'label people' are a shady bunch, especially when it comes to getting paid. The less I have to deal with labels as they exist today the better. We'll see what happens on the 15th.

What's wrong with the current model?
Major labels and their execs make a lot of $$$$$$$$
Recording Studios make a lot of $$$$$$$
Producers make a lot of $$$$$
Artists make $$$$$
Engineer's make $30/hr
Assistants make toilet paper
2nd assistants/interns make $0/hr
Sounds right to me. Honestly I think the major problem with the recording industry is the effect digital and the internet has had on it and also the fact that no one will help you for free yet everyone wants FREE help.
