Corporate bid for independent artist FAIL

Received by an anonymous musician and user of Sonicbids, re-posted here:

Hi (Sonicbids user),
Last week, we sponsored a free webinar presented by Billboard and BrandWeek about matching independent music with consumer brands like Gap, Jeep, Converse and more.

The music world is changing and our mission at Sonicbids to help our members prepare and take advantage of this new world order. (The good news: independent music is more in demand than ever before.)

You can check out the webinar FREE by clicking here. You can also read a short recap on my blog which you can also use as a forum for the Q&A to continue.
Rock on.

Independent music is in demand precisely because it is independent--i.e. not superficially attached to corporate sponsorship just to achieve commercial success. What's this slimy "new world order" aftertaste? No thanks-- independence is freedom, and real freedom, well, that's just plain revolutionary.
