Lol i seen so many artists supporting p2p. They say fuck riaa and mpaa download my shit cause they rip us all of. And MPAA and RIAA already lost the war on the copyright. They suck. I use it all the time and they dont send me leters :(. And this video is mis informing. Copyright laws like the usa has that negativly affect consumers do not exist in most countrys. It is not artists going after ppl it is mpaa. we beter of if holywood go fuk themself and die. Same with other media industrys.

I love using p2p to download and share music, movies, and applications. I stopped doing it for awhile, but after watching this video, I decided to start up again with more vigor than ever.

there is a new peer-to-peer network called Global Herald Network that let people share information with peers all around the world. You can share opinions, ask questions, promote a product or service. Its new, and its awesome.

A real scenario:
I found a cool band on the net, downloaded their album, recommended it to friends. They liked it, recommended it further and the next time I heard a song of that group was in a club, and some guy comes up and asks "Hey you heard about that band?"

The band doesn't sell CD's in stores here, but I know of 3 people who ordered their stuff online.

THATS marketing!
I don't know anyone who likes mainstream artists btw, so I don't f*ing care if they lack 1 million in their balance..

For those of you saying that p2p is strictly about "freedom" or "liberty" have you considered how the system works in a consumer based society/economy? Now that digital files are becoming a preferred media chose for music listeners, it begs the question, would you want your creative expressions reproduced with pristine quality and distributed among thousands of people? As an artist I would be upset if technology was abused to distribute perfect reproductions of my artwork. Same concept.

suck on it bubman5. name your band and i'll make sure 10k's share your creativity by the end of the week. stop being greedy too much, you make your money so stop complaining. p2p actually boosts the sell by freely advertising and giving fame to the artist. the next album that comes out, now has a broader fan base and building on that model, soon, you'll be making millions and contributing to society without becoming too greedy -- more of putting a check on people who want to squeeze every penny.

how to make money as an artist: share your files around the world for free. then when your name is out there(saying ppl like what you made) do live concerts...Most ppl have the perception that you can't make money unless you have cd's well the truth is that most profit is done by tours "yes to be a musician you hafta go from place to place to perform" Musicians are just angry cause p2p is taking away their free ride in life and giving working musicians(the ones that get out) the money.
