[Fmpro] CD Baby - Results Positive

[Dean Stairs]

I had a chance to talk with Derek Sievers (CD Baby founder) at a  
conference this Spring.  He seemed like a very upfront guy.  I also  
saw him sit on a panel with a bunch of industry execs.  Everytime  
they said "The industry is dying" he would jump in with facts and  
figures to indicate that the Independent side of the industry was  
growing and rapidly so!  He did not make a lot of friends on the  
panel but I got the impression he didn't care what they thought of  
him as long as the musicians in the audience got the message that  
they did not need "Big Industry" anymore.
