That works for non-musicians too, right? I know I might be straying away from music a tiny bit when I ask this, but, are there any dramatic differences between self-publishing a book and self-publishing an album? Cause if there aren’t, from one artist to another, what should I look out for in legal terms?

If you live here in my country (Philippines) if your an indie after 2-3years your band members ended up selling donuts in the street. Why? Not enough funds…economy crisis you know!?…And if ever i were in a band and got an offer from a major i’ll gonna grab it…indie had too much risk…eventhough you had a sponsors…you don’t even know tomorrow they will going to say hey! i will not going to sponsor you anymore…that’s sucks!…But it doesn’t matter if your a major or indie…if ever my goal is to win a grammy and sit next to Britney Spears during awards night will it be possible i’ll go indie?

As a result of the so called celebrity culture, some people who want to get involved in the music industry or have an art related career tend to think ‘success’ as getting really big. I once have those same queries in my head. With the booming of internet and communication means, we have to revalue what we are aiming for as artists. I remember what you said and actually agree: art/music is the end, not the means to get to other targets.
Just because we’re discussing this, I wonder if there’s a future for a free/indie Linkin Park. I notice that you have paid some attention to this lately, is this a sign? Can we have hope?
