“Getting Dropped is the New Getting Signed”
Samuelson Clinic Fellow Jack Lerner forwarded me a colleague’s quotable message, originally posted to the lawfuluse listserv:
“On Saturday evening I went to a local music haunt [in Nashville] featuring indie pop
bands. I struck up a conversation with a local musician at the bar, who had
great familiarity with the ways in which new technology makes the middleman
role of major record labels less necessary and desirable. He told me that,
among his contemporaries, the emerging view was that ‘getting dropped is the
new getting signed’.”
