    Drip, a community for independent artists and record label, has been acquired by Kickstarter, the company announced today. The company was set to shut down tomorrow, but Kickstarter has swooped in at the last minute and will let the platform continue to operate as-is, at least for the time being. In many ways, it's a logical pickup for Kickstarter -- a major part of Drip essentially amounts to a crowdfunding platform for fans to pay artists directly for their work.
