Great idea and radical business model that just might work. Offer consumers a choice which is better than free. Reward those who BUY and share the links to the music legally.

You can't control everything with legislation. Nor threaten your fans with punishment. I think one viable way is to offer consumers a third choice which is better than free. I've created a platform that does exactly that - reward people who pay for music/ebooks/apps/games/videos and share their links legally.

First, I'm anti-piracy. Second, I'm pro-business. Musicians who don't mind not getting paid are hobbyists. Musicians who need to get paid are professionals.
Here's what I think is wrong with the situation, and also what I did about it (I'm no keyboard warrior.). The biz model for music is no longer working. With technology, social networks, etc .. sharing of music is expected and easy.
I started a system with a different business model that rewards fans who pay for music and share it - with cash. Let me know what you think of this choice, both from a consumer's perspective and from a artiste's perspective.

Re: Too bad the best is just stopping attacks
We can improve things. Change the business model. Reward and reinforce the right behaviour instead of punishing the wrong behaviour.
Reward fans who buy and share
