[Nettime-bold] Microsoft fights to promote indie bands

[David Mandl <dmandl@panix.com>]

Brenner Adams, product planner for the Microsoft Xbox game Amped, on
why the company is using the music of small-label bands and paying
them little or nothing for the rights:

"We're not saying, `Hey, we want to use your music for nothing,' "
Mr. Adams said. "We said, `Hey, we really want to promote these
artists and promote who they are and what they stand for.' "
