Description:
Roctopus is re-thinking the music industry with the new "Web Label" concept. The Web Label concept takes a traditional record label structure but presents itself online as a mini social network. A Web Label does not sell music, it gives it away for free. Why? Because digital music no longer has monetary value to the general public, and there is no turning back. If social networks can make billions off of advertising, and network television can make billions off of free entertainment, why can't the music industry? This is where Roctopus Music Group comes in. Web Labels are the future of music, and Roctopus will be leading the way. Let's be rockstars.
