   Damien Cornwell, owner of On Point Productions, a downtown recording studio, said downloading hasn't taken a chunk out of his business. Artists still need to record their music, no matter where it ends up.
   
   But those artists, even those with long careers, are losing out because fans get their music for free, he said.
   
   Many rookie artists advocate the practice to get their music heard, he said, but even they lose out in the end due to diminished sales. Much downloading is the result of what he says is music's mediocrity.
   
   Cornwell said he doesn't foresee a backlash from fans because of the music industry's lawsuits.
   
   "There is no fan union. There is no organization to protect those people," he said.

   Cornwell also said what he wasn't looking for. "I have never particularly cared for when live bands, especially playing originals, stop between songs," he said. "It's a concert, man -- rock me!"
   
   Russell said he did all he could to include the bands in the winnowing process, but that post-performance complaints are inevitable."The fact is, I talked to every single one of the bands. And I also brought them all into a meeting and said, 'Here's how it's going to work,'" he said. "And I asked them, 'Is there anything you guys would like me to change? Add? Take Out? Whatever, let me know.' I gave them the opportunity to actually have some input into how the event was judged and run. No one had any changes. Now all of a sudden a couple of bands are like oh, this should have been this way.
