A2f2a

There's a new site, a2f2a.com, that is trying to get artists and fans talking to each other without the middle men, who have an agenda that is not in the best interests of either artists or fans. The founders of a2f2a.com are well known and credible: Billy Bragg and Jon Newton of p2pnet.net. A2f2a.com is very new but the most interesting discussion so far is here.

The main problem will be is getting other signed artists to join the debate because they may not be able go against the record company. Bragg is the only well known artist who is posting under his own name, so I wonder how bridges he has set on fire with this. The success of a2f2a.com depends on getting more artists involved, but it won't be easy. The fans are already well represented and Bragg could use some help!
