Haven't youtube started bying out royalties for some things now?
aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
it's P2P users
I was reading it as PSP users for the last couple of days.
since when did musicians become charity cases?
re supporting artists:
How much does having a paypal donation button on your website cost?
How many bands do it ? If not why not ?
A podcast I listen to recently stopped because the people got laid off from their day jobs, some of them set up a new podcast and a website with a donation button and the ended up getting over 10 grand in donations which they spent on better recording equipment. Also lots of other podcasts have donation drives every now and again which pays for the bandwidth and probably more if they are popular.
I'd love to see the same model work for or at least help out smaller independent muscians.
You put your material out for free, people donate on your
website based on how much they can afford, how much they like your stuff and how much they would like to hear more stuff.
I know radiohead, nine inch nails tried it with varying success but in that case you were just paying for the album. I think the donation emphasis should be on the act of commissioning more albums\material for smaller bands.
Who would really donate though seriously? On a small level like? I think Kieran Goss or someone like that did something similar years ago though.

it seems like people want to give money to musicians to "help them out" or "support them" instead of paying for their music.

If it were made very easy for those downloaders to contribute money directly to bands with the knowledge that the more they contribute the more frequent and higher quality the future releases of those bands would be, then more people would do it.
It wouldn't matter because most of these bands would still release music and you could still get it for zilch anyway so why would some 10-25 year old bother their arse donating?
> 0Meshuggah said:How many people pay to use this site?
I've often downloaded something i really liked and had real trouble finding it in a store or for sale online. If i could google the band name, go to a site and compensate with a small amount of money I would.

I appreciate the sentiment but donating as a model just won't work.
The band, still unhappy with their record label situation, decided that it would be trying a radical experiment by asking their fans if they would help fund the recording of the next album by pre-ordering it before recording even started. They result was over 12,000 pre-orders which raised enough money to record and release Anoraknophobia in 2001.[17] The band was able to strike a deal with EMI to also help distribute the album. This allowed Marillion to retain all the rights to their music while enjoying commercial distribution. The success of Anoraknophobia allowed the band to start recording their next album, but they decided to leverage their fanbase once again to help raise money towards marketing and promotion of a new album. The band put up the album for pre-order in mid-production. This time fans responded by pre-ordering 18,000 copies.[18]
Marbles was released in 2004 with a 2-CD version that is only available at Marillion's website - kind of a 'thank-you' gesture to the 18,000+ fans who pre-ordered it, and as even a further thanks to the fans, their names were credited in the sleeve notes (this 'thank you' to the fans also occurred with the previous album, Anoraknophobia).
