eldavojohn writes "The funny thing about the RIAA & BPI is that the artists are just as tired as the fans with how online music is being handled. So they're trying something new called Featured Artists' Coalition. FAC's site states in their charter: "We believe that all music artistes should control their destiny because ultimately it is their art and endeavors that create the pleasure and emotion enjoyed by so many." As digital releases are increasing, the artists aren't seeing anymore money. With the advent of online distribution, promotion, samples, radio and marketing are parts of the music industry now nothing but costly overhead for the artists? From Iron Maiden to Kate Nash to Radiohead, some big names are backing this new organization." Link to Original Source
