often on Web search is one thing and another it is more interesting.
few days ago looking for information about a group called Nemesea , Dutch symphonic rock band, for those who are interested in. Doing the usual research on the Italian Wikipedia, I realize that there is a page dedicated to them, but I find them mentioned in another article. The name of the Sellaband page.
Intrigued, I begin to read, and I find that this is a site whose aim is to produce artists who want to make a disk without going into the circuit of the majors. What is innovative is the way they collect the funds, with a system that operates from the bottom: Anyone can join the site and decide to become a "believer" (and here we explain the post title) of a particular artist, pouring a share (defined as "part") of $ 10. The artist, meanwhile, can sign up for free and create a profile, biography, pictures and demos of their songs.
When you reach the quota of $ 50,000, Sellaband is committed to producing the disc.
But what earns the believer? First of all, a finished work will get a limited edition copy of the disc. If you have paid several times their height, can choose to receive as many copies as its parts, or sell the discs through the site in excess.
If the disc will be produced for the artist retires, you can always move the share to another artist, or receive a refund.
As you can see, you do not lose anything and in any case it has helped to enrich the music scene with deserving people. Nemesea
What does have to do with it? Simple, they are the first band to have reached the fateful goal of $ 50,000, and he then produced a disc. The other
interesting thing to me is the absolute, (at least in theory) independent of the system imposed by the majors, which usually forces the authors (emerging, of course) to accept contracts from hungry and sometimes even lose money, just to see the release of their album.

PS This is the post that was lost on Splinder, and that I rewrote from scratch. Perhaps the original version was a bit 'longer, I'm not sure. However, it seems to me wrote a little 'better.
