I think he's overlooking some "musicians" who have blown up because of the internet. Justin Bieber, Soulja Boy, Chief Keef, and The Weeknd all got famous due to viral internet attention. I first heard about The Weeknd when someone posted HOB in the music section of this board, waaaaay before he was famous.

The Weeknd is probably the only artist of this group that 'the artist' would recognize.

“What I meant was that the internet was over for anyone who wants to get paid, and I was right about that,” he says. “Tell me a musician who’s got rich off digital sales. Apple’s doing pretty good though, right?”

He's talkin about corporate control. It just moved to the net.

I like how he doesn't overcharge his fans for concert tickets....

he's not talking about gaining notoriety on the net and parlaying that into a conventional career..he's talking about actually making money from selling music you created on the internet.. thats not nearly as lucrative as one would think.
