To suggest that the majority of P2P users are seeking out new, unsigned bands as opposed to downloading popular artists is completely unrealistic,
Again, I fail to see how shutting down P2P's would have a damaging effect on the music industry. P2P's have zilch to do with the tools available for artists and bands to promote and distribute their music on the web. |
Totally Agree... this is why P2Ps have almost no value for New Artists. Go on Limewire ..
The amount of songs for an Artist ( If Any ) will be directly proportional to the Level of Visibility they already have.... Case in Point
Essie Jane ( New Artist pretty unknown ..Bada Bing Records .. Home of Beruit nationally released in Feb.) 0
Bayside ( Victory Records .. Played on Conan recently ) 350
Coldplay 1600
The Numbers dont lie ... people do not use p2p to discover new music they use it to download songs they already like...
