Seven swedish record companies have formed a cooperative they call The swedish model which, in short, is an attempt to come up with new ideas for business in the musical area. Their ideas are very healthy and the get a lot of attention in media. This cooperative has also been invited to talk in the swedish parliament. I think you should have a look at their website: http://www.theswedishmodel.org/
Of course I wish Gramtone could be a member of this coop. We’ll see what happens in the future.
