independent producers will not earn money from the listening, only labels will. am I right or no? as I understood from the article only labels will and I think this is not fare.

Yep, you need to make your own deal with SoundCloud to get any kind of money and most likely they won't respond to email requests.
I hope one day there's just a big umbrella license for any musician that uploads material to Soundcloud. As part of that one there's unlimited free uploads for artists as we are basically providing free material to Soundcloud just now and we should not pay for that privilege.
PS: And if not Soundcloud will do this, some other startup enterprise will go with that business plan and bye bye Soundcloud for most independent artists/producers/DJs (remember myspace.com anyone?)

I liked mp3com payola.. it was peanuts but at least it applied across the board for listens. No label/signing required by the artist.
I think they also had 128kbit audio too like soundcloud now.. back in 1998 haha
