I quickly checked out your site mybandstock.com.

I think it is an interesting idea to help fans provide finanical support to the bands they like. It is something like a tipjoy for music.

The name bandstock is a bit confusing though. Stocks are tradeable instruments of investment. I see that you clearly state in your FAQ that they are non negotiable and non transferrable. But people may find the concept confusing because the name.

I like the basic idea of your site. I wish you folks all the success.

I will checkout your website.

Good point about the ipod/iphone factoring in their music business. I don’t know how much apples pays to the labels, but they are getting paid for each song purchased which is better than montezing with advertising companies like imeem. It would be interesting to see the profits apple makes just on the itunes store.

Your blog is sweet but I must disagree with you. Apple actually isn’t making money off Itunes - it costs them way more than anyone understands to run their music store. But, they have the Ipod/Iphone. Which balances the entire equation.

By the way, I am the founder of a website called mybandstock.com, home of The Music Revolution. I’d love to hear your comments!
