Montreal — I like wearing hats, and at the Future of Music Coalition (FMC) conference running October 5 to 7, I’m wearing two.
My plan at this gabfest on the music biz everything from cyber issues to arts funding is to be a panellist and then spend the rest of the time gathering info for the article you’re reading.
But things get strange right off the bat and then stranger still as a spectacular plan is unveiled that could finally solve the puzzle of how musicians can make money out of those digital 0s and 1s.
