Jay Frank, author of the book FutureHit.DNA and former music executive at CMT and Yahoo! Music, today announced his new music company DigSin. The concept of the company is that fans sign up for a free subscription, and artists sign with DigSin for individual songs instead of for their entire musical output.
The National Football League bans players, coaches and other team personnel from using social media during a several hour window around every game, but that doesnt protect the players from themselves the rest of the time. Two that come to mind are Rashard Mendenhall (Pittsburgh Steelers) sharing, um, his unique perspective on Osama bin Laden, and Larry Johnson (ex-Kansas City Chiefs) insulting the coach, gay people and a fan.
