POPcuts
March 4th, 2009 by Lior Shamir
POPcuts, a Y Combinator company, is an indie MP3 boutique with an interesting twist. Similar in nature to Amie Street, the online store provides music fans with an incentive to discover and purchase new music. Each time a track you purchased sells, you get a cut of the proceeds. Previous buyers get a larger cut, so it pays to be a “trendspotter”. The element of A&R role-play is one that I am discovering more and more of in various forms across the web. See yesterday’s post on Slicethepie & Bebo.
