EDITORIAL In a period when the distribution of commercial music is monopolised by four or five firms, the Internet still retains its marvelous power of information in its young tradition of freedom. Indeed the multinationals of the recording industry sterilize creation by imposing their artists on a public a little lobotomised by mindlessness which every state sponsors through the media assuming its duty as a general anesthetic. By agreements with these same media, these venal consortiums thus deprive people of discovering other forms of expression. That which is true for music is just as true for the other arts (litterature, painting, cinema etc.) : To fill their pockets, 21st century traders suppress qualitative creation. That is why the Web is one of the last areas in which it is still possible to distribute original material. And fortunately the Internet is difficult to enslave and is growing exponentially !
