As an artist:
1) Do you see any inherent worth to releasing your music through a netlabel?
Yes. A serious net label will help to gather a group of like minded artists and introduce their audiences to each other.
2) What are the three most important things you look for in a label?
No order: Activity. Relative coherence. Quality of releases.
3) What are the top three labels on which you'd like to have your music and why?
No order: Ubiktune, Inpuj, AANAAANAAANAAANA.
They're all quality netlabels that are active, coherent, and in their own way, quality.
4) What is the percentage of the money you think should go to the label?
Depends. Artists should sort this out with the label. Are they hosting the music n their own servers? Are they running at a loss?
5) What services should the label offer? (art, mastering, physical CDs etc etc)
Depends. A good label will hopefully be able to help you find those kinds of things. Providing them is a different matter
6) Your feelings on exclusivity and copyrights?
Artists should own their own work.
As a customer
1) What, if any, influence does a label has on your purchasing habits?
If it's on a label I like, it's more likely to get my attention
2) Do you prefer to buy directly from an artist, or through a label?
I will usually buy directly from an artist if I can. but I usually discover it through a label.
3) What are you top three favorite labels and why?
Listed above
4) What would you consider a appropriate price range for chiptune albums?
Totally depends. If an album is free and I really like it I'll usually pay anyway if the option is there. Just don't try to rip me off. I'm not paying £15 for a casette.
5) Does the storefront (bandcamp, custom website, etc) influence your purchases?
Just don't make it super dumb.
6) Your opinion on physical copies? (cd, tape, vinyl, etc)
If I really like something I'll get a physical copy. Vinyl or tape usually. CD's seem superfluous, although I have bought them. I understand that Vinyl is expensive to produce.
7) Your opinion on merch? (tshirts, stickers, garter belts, etc)
If I really like you I might buy some merch. It has to actually look good though.
