Insound.com to Warner’s ADA Not Terribly Surprising
I just found out via TMT that Insound.com, everyone’s favorite online music retailer, has been bought by Warner’s ADA division (Alternative Distribution Alliance). Mr P points out that this move blurs the line even more between major music distribution and indie distribution.
I’m willing to take it one step further and say that it’s just another step in exposing the fact that there really is no essential difference in the majors and so called “indies.” Granted, there’s a difference in execution between your older brother’s garage outfit and Barsuk, but surprise surprise, when record sales start to head out the door, everyone seems to get a little cozier with the “enemy.”
