I'm not sure I get the big deal.
Other than some guy from some big band that was marketed by some big labels back in the 90's heading up this project, what exactly is it that's being done that isn't already available to artists?
There are TONS of digital labels out there. There are infinite options for bands that want to promote themselves online - from doing it themselves, to hiring on agents, to selling out...
The only thing new here is these specific big name players.
I like Radiohead's music, and I love how they were one of the first major sell out bands to jump on the "I'm totally not a sell out because our next album is a free 128K mp3 downlaod" bandwagon... but what's happening here that hasn't already been done?
