    Who do you think is going to put more music on the RBN?

    Between indie bands, underground bands and major labels, who do you think is going to get the most use out of RBN?

    Personally, I think the major labels, if they really think this is a good way to make money, will be able to put in a lot more resources.

    I mean, while there are far more indie bands that can benifit from this, and likely just as many who will be willing to do so, a lot of them can't afford to put in the time and money required to put out more than, say, a song a month, while major labels can put together their own teams to work on decades worth of material that can be put out very rapidly simply because more people can work on more songs.

    What do you guys think?

    Major labels, they will milk it till it's dry. At least some indie bands have some self restraint!

    I may have helped bring Rust in Peace to Rock Band.

    Big labels/bands aren't going to even bother with this.

    While we have no details on this, I'm guessing major labels get a much larger cut when Harmonix pays them for Harmonix to chart the tracks. What's the incentive to do the work themselves when Harmonix will pay them to do it?

    What's the incentive? 30% of every $3 sale. That's $.90 per download. One million downloads? That's $900,000. How much does HMX pay for a song license, comparatively?

    Hopefully all 3.

    I can't wait to see some more obscure stuff that I'd never expect to see as regular dlc on this.
