Do people still actually use Limewire/Frostwire? Last time I used that piece of garbage was over a year ago and all the search results were either viruses or if you didn’t pay attention youd a fake music file with that stupid ass guy doing the Bill Clintion voice saying “join e-free club!!!”

Limewire BLOWS.

[...] which currently is promoting Audra Hardt, spoke to TorrentFreak about its first artist Sean Fornier. According to the piece, there were more than 25,000 downloads [...]

“A common criticism leveled at most p2p clients is that they just ‘help people steal’”

Oh wow, really? I thought p2p clients were invented just to download latest Linux builds (yeah yeah, Windows will be dead and whatever..).

Also, these artists if ever end up releasing a book or those nice Gnomon like tutorial videos, good luck stopping people from pirating it all. Expose yourself using blogs and art sites, not a ***** piracy software that (mostly) everyone uses NOT to pay for stuff (really, why bother promoting yourself to such crowd?).

@12, We’re not really metal (more like loud garage rock), but I hope you’ll consider my band, Darkfold, for your next promo!

Find us on Jamendo: http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/Darkfold

@10 We’ll try to rotate the genre, next one will be hip hop. We have some candidates for Metal too.

Any unsigned band suggestions are welcome.

HUH? Doesn’t soulseek then also the same or something related like FrostWire?
It so, why soulseek is sued by the SPPF and why FrostWire not?

“radio stations have been doing it for years”

Really? For years now, radio stations have been using P2P clients to promote artists?

Damn, why didn’t I hear about this sooner…

One less argument that the RIAA can use, but those bastards are going to put a spin on this too… for sure.

Its would be great if artists could side step “commercial money hungry” record labels & do this, a new model has to be sorted out so the artist & the bit torrent client/site gets revenue from the amount of downloads but some how still delivering the content to the end user for free. Then it would be a case of, if the content was good it would be popular because it was well written not because its been advertised by “commercial money hungry” corporate companies that have “money hungry deals” with fizzy drink companies, fast food chains & the like

Then hopefully the monopoly of the riaa & record labels would be a thing of the past.

@4 Which ones? I always hear the same crap over and over when I turn the radio on the car, they’re almost spammy when they put the sames in rotation and play them back to back within the same hour.

Seems interesting, Jamenda is a great place to get _free_ music. They have everycategory there! Why is it that FrostWire looks very similar to Limewire…? Using the same crappy Gnutella networking…
