As I said previously, I don't think any of us doubt the artists allegations. I still would love to hear Green Linnets side of the story. I guess we will hear it in court.

Again, we are all making very educated guesses as to what kind of money is generated. I will say it again, the "traditional" music field has been undocumented for way too long. The major trade publications and groups ignore figures for this genre.   It is very rare that you see financial figures for festivals where you would see them listed in Billboard. The mom & pop independent nature of this genre has allowed it to operate in a vacuum, so it is not surprising that cases like Green Linnet and David Bulmer are popping up.   Perhaps groups like the Folk Alliance might be able to shed some light and lend assistance.
