Indie labels are rolling up their sleeves and actively reshaping how their artists can flourish in a noisy, networked world. How are today’s indies distributing their music? Creating buzz around releases? Selling merch? Accounting for royalties from dozens of different sources — some of them fractions of pennies? This nuts and bolts conversation will cover how indie labels are overseeing their rosters and managing digital assets in a rapidly changing environment.

This panel was recorded on October 3, 2010 in Washington, DC at Georgetown University during FMC's 10th annual Policy Summit.
