For the time being at least, on-line distribution is used mainly as a promotional tool to broaden a band's exposure. But record companies in particular are concerned that as the technology and hardware improves, allowing users to download entire albums in little time, they'll lose a large chunk of their retail market to free reproductions over the Net. 1, record 1, English, - on%2Dline%20distribution

Since IUMA (Internet Underground Music Archive) was created at the University of California in Santa Cruz, similar though less-developed services have sprung up. The Los Angeles-based RockNet, has a few information menus on concerts and bands such as the Spin Doctors, as well as some on-line distribution capability. Kaleidospace not only has on-line and interactive features for music, it also covers visual arts and theatre. Another on-line service of notoriety is metaverse.com, which currently offers on-line music and menus about coming events such as the Woodstock reunion. 1, record 1, English, - on%2Dline%20distribution
