the internet gives artists more freedom than traditional music business
when artists make music they should think only about making art, not about money
releasing music on netlabels is good only for beginning artists
commerce corrupts art - artist can rarely be commercially and artistically successful at the same time
Creative Commons licenses give artists good protection of their work
artists should do all they can to maintain their independence from the mainstream recording industry
quality of music which is distributed by netlabels is high
artists who are very popular (superstars) are usually better musicians than less known artists
existence of netlabels democratizes music industry/music market
artists cannot become really popular without help of a traditional record company
