The Lucky Packet Project
Cape Town-based singer/songwriter Verity has broken the paradigm of the major record labels by pre-selling her album on www.iamverity.com to 5,000 fans and corporate sponsors on a trust basis, before she records it.
Her purely internet-based business model which launched her career and is empowering other local artists has already attracted the attention of the local and international music industry.
There are already over 700 future owners, in more than 21 different countries worldwide and she will be giving over 10{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62} of each sale to two charities – Live Your Dreams, which helps other artists to achieve their dreams and POWA (People Opposing Women’s Abuse), to assist in raising awareness of the abuse of women in South Africa.
Check out the project and become a Future Owner at www.iamverity.com.

I agree with you Ben! The project is awesome!
It is very innovative
Ben
I think the project and the idea is BRILLIANT!!!
I completely disagree with you guys and think that you are being cynical about this. Yes, we are always worried about scams, but more than 700 cds have been sold in less than a year and the money has already been given to charity.
I have supported this project and look forward to being part of creating the cd. if you look at the website and see what it is all about – your opinions may change

Too right, matey.
And my precious earhairs that girl is wretched wrong, right? Am I right? Can I get a hell yes over the top?
That’s the type of crap that the “musical revolution” will squash like bugs on a squash plant.

Yeah, unless she doesn’t raise enough money and then what? Does she give the money back to everyone? That would simply be called a loan.
I’m all for musical revolutions, but I don’t know if I consider this anything short of a scam.
On the other hand, I’m accepting donations to help me produce a record in my next lifetime (or whatever lifetime comes next that I own a decent singing voice). I won’t be able to give any of the donors a record, but their children’s children will think I’m all the rage…
McFly!!!!!
