[kj] Band funding

[Brian Whitehead]

Talking about the Pledge funding thing I came across this about a German
band who funded it's last album by selling shares.
Would you buy shares in KJ? Would Jaz see this as ethically wrong?

"The German band Angelica Express financed its last album by selling
“shares” to fans.

They issued 500 “shares” at 50 Euros each (which sold out in record time and
came with a detailed plan of how the money would be spent). With those
25,000 Euros, the band financed the recording of their album, the album
artwork, the manufacture of the actual CDs, and the accompanying promotion.

Not only do the people who signed up for the shares get the new album but in
return they also receive 80% of the earnings."
Brian.
