Comments on: MySpace Music: Why limit it to majors?
MySpace announced an initiative with three of the four major labels to offer downloads on artist pages. The site should offer the same services to independent artists, says Matt Rosoff.

The Net giant, ever eager for a faster Internet, debuts its Google Public DNS service. With it, Google could become even more central to the Net.

- Matt, this environment does exist a bit further down the tail on SoundClick.com. SoundClick has been around for over 10 years and allows artists to license and sell their original music in a proprietary store. While it does not have the reach of MySpace, SoundClick is a music social media community with 3.3 million members and over 2.8 million songs that can be streamed. SoundClick is a serious place for artists and fans to discover new music in all genres.
