Music startups: What a crappy investment

This is only a crappy investment because these music startups are looking at the entire business model in the wrong fashion. They are regurgitating the same old lame model that has failed time and time again. Its time for some new blood, new ideas, and greater innovation. You cant perform the same task and expect a different result. Its not going to happen. The three reasons that these web based music startups fail, that the writer suggested are true I agree. But they all can be easily fixed and turned around via a different thought process. These are not reasons for these companies to fail in this business. The writer states that people just dont want to pay for music, the ad supported model is not their yet, and dying labels have no interest in helping these companies survive. This may be true, but I have the remedy to solve all of these issues. Must keep my ideas guarded at this point, except for those at Y-combinator ofcource. But trust me, there is a different and much for effective way.
