- **"YouTube videos are the gateway drug,"** said a professional music videographer at Bandwidth. "I think most bands do embrace the bootleg model as a way to get people to the pro sites."

"The **technology is really there to empower** the consumer and the artist," said Gracenote VP Stephen White. "It is about **creating better experiences** around music, and we think the same is true for movies, TV, and other entertainment content."

- "There are **tons of new models** around recorded music; **most haven't**

before. Unfortunately for the labels, they are not paying for it."

**Creative Allies** plans to soon launch a test version of **software that**  
**lets artists hire fans to create anything from concert posters and**  
**t-shirt designs to music videos and biographies**, according to the  
startup.
