Music Nation's online site for indie artists has begun a joint venture with Bug Music, an indie music publisher, for scouting songwriters and hooking them up with publishing deals under Bug Music's label.
So Music Nation will find the talent, and Bug Music gets to make them famous. Bug Music will be handling the royalty collection for artists, getting them gigs in film, television and commercials, among other things. This is a rather direct cooperative deal between a social network and a music label.
