Irish music industry goes open source

Irish-based SonikDub, the first open source record label of its kind, will open its doors to unsigned artists next month.

Although many open source labels already exist, SonikDub are the only to provide chart ranking. All sales are reported and sent daily to the OCC and Chart Track.

The purpose of open source labels is to allow artists to retain copyright over their material rather than sign it over to a major label in a record deal.
