Westcoast Music blog reports that musical act Marc Cohn has authorized his fans to record his concerts as a nice way to promote his own material and creates a blast in the music industry. In an email to his fans, Cohn wrote:

bq. “Fire up your digital audio recorders and start your mp3 engines, because recording Cohn shows has been officially blessed by Marc and his forward-looking management company. We would like fans to be able to freely record Marc’s live shows.”

He is one of the few people to actually take an enlightened view of the digital music. Cohn feels that more sharing means more Cohn fans who will eventually buy his music. Makes sense to us. (link tip SmartMobs)
