He explains why he started Magnatune in 2003, the difficulties faced by independent musicians in getting their music out there, how the record industry helped him out, why he believes in Creative Commons, and how he avoids getting “crabby? as he decides on what music to sign from the 400 submissions Magnatune receives each month.
