Recently I read about a project called BitTunes[1], which is a P2P based
music sharing platform. It is designed as a replacement for iTunes, but it
seems to be proprietery, so I won't use it. Instead I use free software that
plays Ogg Vorbis. For file sharing I use GNUnet, which offers support to
measure the pupularity of a downloaded song using the NSE[2] subsystem. If we
know the popularity of an artist we can pay him/her the cuberoot[3] of
his/her popularity.
I still buy CDs, sometimes I download FLAC from CD Baby. There are two
remaining problems[3]: you are required to identify yourself, and you don't
own a physical copy you can sell if you don't listen to the music anymore.
