on the subject of life after soulseek, mp3 downloading and respect for artists etc, has anyone else realised that the only ones that win are the corperates anyway - explanation....
you download using what? a communications line/phone/broadband/cable etc and you pay a corperate company,
you download onto your hard drive, which you bought of a corperation, when its full you either buy another one or burn cd's, which you bought of another corperation etc etc so at the end of the day the corperations are laughing because they are getting paid, so whats the state of play? pay only for what you are forced to pay for and take/steal everything which you can get away with?
what if soulseek was a subscriptions based service for idm labels - pay a monthly fee - download what you like - then through electronic monitoring those labels who contribute content can claim a share - im sure an economist could make it workable - any comments - im sure this is already the case with some webclubs, but its yet to be implemented in some open forum capacity - food for thought - any response from Soulseek themsleves?
