  This is why Rick can have so much positive influence on the world of music and musicians.

  Making a lot of men in suits very nervous. Love it. This is the change we artists need. Rick starting to connect the dots and making things happen from the ground up.

  We are in this weird culture where everyone feels they are entitled to others work for free or for fractions of a penny on a dollar.

  How does a jazz musician make a million dollars? They start with two million. (Ba dum chi)

  As an Intellectual Property lawyer, I have to say that this could be (will be ?)  a game-changer for creators. I'm absolutely blown away by this new app. The negotiations over the splits could still end up being messy, so it would be even more incredible if the app could also provide some numbers and stats to help creators find fair and reasonable splits. But otherwise, this is a much-needed, long-overdue innovation in the music world. I think an app like this would be useful in our creative sectors, such as TV and movies. Bravo!

  I'm downloading this now because I have a catalog of 57 songs and am recording another album but I'm practically nonexistent and have made $14 from streaming in my entire life. This will make it so much easier.

  As a musician who’s been wanting to break into the music industry on the legal and technical side, this was a massive wealth of knowledge for someone like me! Thank you gentlemen for your creative efforts, and thank you Rick for using your influence to bring light to something like this!

  What a great guest and subject matter.<br>Consider this: Niclas Molinder, a Swede speaking English, explained a very complex new system with absolute clarity and efficiency - the were no hesitations, no slang or hip terms, no &apos;ummmmm&apos;s between thoughts, and no need to even think before responding to questions. He also avoided trying to convince us how great it was and avoided superlatives like &apos;amazing&apos; and &apos;game-changing&apos;, the sort of hype typically heard from new product descriptions.<br>I have no interest in this device (though will share with those who will). But as a marketer I watched &apos;til the end because Niclas did such a great job communication.

  CAR Companies are also to blame for removing CD players in vehicles. Most don&apos;t have cd players at the house anymore or the car. Now cds become a waste and people won&apos;t buy them. Many Musicians could spread their name with Cds, make money off cds, now it&apos;s like the best we can do is say GO FIND ME ONLINE. Sadly many people will just put that in one ear and out the other. <br><br>Basically going viral is the only hope for a musician these days.
