You know the drill: fetch some coffee, answer the phones, kiss some butt, and hope it all goes somewhere. It's the unpaid internship, a well-worn rite of passage in the music industry. But does this make sense anymore, especially with so many established companies struggling and cutting back? And remember: there's less guarantee than ever that ...
