Hi, I run a small label and am a member of the BPI.
I have to say I don't agree with this move. Over the years labels have been very successful at persuading the public to buy all types of music. Unfortunately, the rules have changed. They failed to take note of the changes that were happening and found out that their business models no longer worked. They just wouldn't listen.
Either give it away or let advertising on the tracks pay for it!
