Re: [ilugd] weedshare music
hey all, think the idea is kewl. except there are several '..encouraged to...' clauses in there which leave a lot of scope for uncertainty. nonetheless if ppl are willing to pay for what they get there is no reason why this cant be done, except perhaps a technical one. how does the artist come into picture here is a technical issue, i think. perhaps i am un-awares of something that you guyz know. so if someone could elaborate on that. regards Anuj Sharma _ Access Hotmail from your mobile now. http://server1.msn.co.in/sp03/mobilesms/ Click here. ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

[ilugd] weedshare music
here's an interesting idea: http://www.weedshare.com/ basically, P2P music-sharing with a twist. bypass RIAA. users are encouraged to download music, pay for it, 50% goes to the artist (that's nice), and users are *encouraged* and *rewarded in cash* to share the music further. check out the details. however, i don't like the 15% goes to weedshare part. why can't the community create an alternative with just two people in the equation: the artist, and the fan. plus the software for P2P. no middle-man. also, why can't they use ogg vorbis and even raw cd tracks format? what do you guys think? :-) LL ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
