We Got Your Music!

* Rcrd Lbl is a self described "network of ad-supported online record labels and blogs offering completely free music streams and downloads from emerging and established artists." Basically, Rcrd Lbl offers free downloads from artists ranging from Bloc Party to Mos Def and makes money off the advertising. Is this the new model for record "sales?" The Wall Street Journal tells us how it is, while the board of the RIAA has a heart attack. That never gets old.

* Edgar Bronfman, Jr., Canadian heir to the Seagrams fortune and former song-writer turned Chairman\CEO of Warner Music Group, does the unthinkable...he publicly admits that maybe the recording industry is to blame for the rise of p2p networks.

* And Maclean's tells us why the Canadian government's tax on MP3s is a poor plan.
