Thanks for posting, Dave. As you know from our recent discussions, I agree with your assessment re: quid pro quo and accessibility. You have some great insights with respect to the important role of advertising in new media ventures – I’m sure you’ll be able to add great value to any venture you become involved with.

Aha, you have cracked the code, radionowhere! I didn’t realize one needed to be a member of the group to participate in the discussion, but it makes sense. The name of the group is Music Industry Forum. It’s very open, so just request to join and, as long as you have some connection to the music biz, I’m sure you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

Hey Greg:

Still interested in getting into the discussion on LinkedIn, but when I login and then visit that link, the system says “Sorry you are not a member of the group you are trying to access.” (helpful, eh?).

Could you tell me what the name of your group is, so that I can find it that way? Thanks!

Thanks, radionowhere. Try signing into LinkedIn first, and then either clicking on the link above or copying it and pasting it into your browser. As long as you’re signed in, it should take you right there. Definitely a discussion worth checking out!

And, by the way, thanks to Attorney Cross as well – for some reason I missed your comment.

Greg – thanks for all the excellent insights! I tried to access the LinkedIn discussion, but couldn’t. I’m not too familiar with that site (though I do have a profile there) – can you explain how to find that group? Thanks!

Given the rhetoric, rants and heated exchanges on Twitter and the blogs this past week, this article is a breath of fresh air.

We need to have more of these intelligent discussions and debates to help bridge the gap between technology and the music business. Fear, misunderstanding and finger-pointing is not going to help us close that gap.
