Here's a blurb from http://cashmusic.org:
CASH Music is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Our software will provide a set of open source applications that will provide musicians the ability to communicate, promote and sell products directly to their audience. We want our software and engineers to set the pace and provide an alternative to the media giants.
Sustainability for artists is the goal, and an open source solution gives musicians and coders the power to build solutions together. We can’t rely on Facebook, the RIAA, or even Apple to invent a new model that works with the best interests of artists in mind. Let's create those models together.

Not sure if anyone has checked this out - seems like they're working on some open source features that could plug into Drupal. Curious if/how their effort could compliment similar efforts such as Music Features for Drupal and subsequent installation profiles/distros for Musicians and labels.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
