It's a great time to be indie; and its primary U.S. advocate, the American Association Of Independent Music, turns 10 tomorrow. A2IM can take more than a little credit for bringing indies together to force Apple Music to pay royalties during free trials. But over the years, A2IM has done much more. Just a few of their accomplishments: Successfully blocking YouTube's attempts to push unfair deals on independents for Music Key; Securing Market Development Coordinator Grant for trade missions to major ...

Rifftides by Doug Ramsey
The Rifftides staff devoted a meeting to choosing a piece of music to bring you on this most American of holidays. After what seemed like hours of discussion, we bogged down in disagreement. Feelings may not have been running as high as in the Greek referendum campaign, but failure to reach a compromise had everyone on edge. We had a four-way tie. No one was giving in.

While checking out Apple Music after it launched this morning, I noticed a link targeting undistributed independent artists that points straight to CD Baby.

Why would Apple highlight CD Baby? Apple certainly doesn’t want to take phone calls and field questions from hundreds of thousands of independent artists, but ...
