Music Downloads 2008 - A Victory for Consumers and Artists

This is great news for consumers tired of major label releases with only 1 or 2 hits and nine songs of filler. Thanks has to go to visionairy Derek Sivers of CDBaby who has helped thousands of artists like Tom Fox thrive by distributing their music to iTunes, Rhapsody and Sony Connect.
