We are an independent record label and publishing company not a big bad corporation out to sue people for file sharing, we WANT them to spread our music around. Songs from our catalog have been played by hundreds of radio stations and podcasters worldwide and it didn't cost them a penny, in return we got exposure and promotion.....sounds like a good deal to me, that's why many of our tracks have been released under a creative commons license.

Nice to hear some positive examples of how new business models are flourishing despite doom and gloom from naysayers.

Keeping my opinions about the possible motives behind some major label acts giving their music away to myself for now.

With such an overcrowded market place giving away your music is essential in my opinion. The biggest problem for emerging indie artists today is obscurity, not piracy. To find out more listen to The Antiqcool Podcast
