Well, I don’t think it matters because once Mega goes live everyone who goes there will see Justin Bieber’s face or Lady Gaga’s face or Nicki Minaj’s face on the homepage etc. These artists from major labels will still dominate the site. What is the difference?

None of the advertisers now are being guaranteed space on my screen. They paid a relative pittance to send out massive spam ads. So some of them get screened. Technically, it will be using anti popup/banner add software that I INSTALLED on my computer. No other advertiser will have that power, not without me installing another app on my computer. And personally, that won’t happen. So I get free downloads for installing one app, that at least makes my add experience more controlled. Meanwhile, anybody whining that I am screening their adds is in the exact same boat they were when I installed the previous addblocker software. They gambled on people watching their digital diarrhea, they get to live with the consequences.

Newsflash, art isn’t always free to create. What makes you think it’s ok to take it for free? Software costs money to create, all these things you would like to enjoy cost someone something in some way so what make you think its ok to just take take take. If anyone is greedy here it’s people like you. Not saying these companies aren’t also greedy but its sort of the pot calling the kettle black.

One question. Record labels pay for marketing, recording time, etc (through the form of a loan). How would newer artist without the start up capitol be able to compete with the already successful artists who already have money to pay for a proper studio recording without the help of labels? Don’t get me wrong, I see the problems with labels but I think its shortsighted to not see the the good things they do, such as artist development. Not every musicians wants to record with cheese dick audio plugins and consumer grade budget recording gear.

Megakey works like an ad blocker, but instead of blocking ads it replaces a small percentage with Mega’s own ads. Those who prefer not to install the app have the option to buy the music instead.

you don’t think record labels got hip to that, hince 360 deals they own everything you create anything that’s attached to your name. Changing your name wouldn’t work in todays industry. I find this all and good, but it’s not the answer, secondly it will start of as a honest plan but in time he will or some other will find a way to screw people, it always happens. also the ones mad at the artist for making the amount of money need to chill, because the majority of artist don’t make any money at all. Look at bow wow, he had to take a job at BET cause he ‘s not making what the public thinks he is.

This is what leads to further innovative competitiveness. This is not a bad business model. It will free musicians and give them a way to make money that hasn’t really been available since the napster days. Online access to music has ruined the record industry. This is just evolution of the music industry.

art can’t be compensated with money. if people like your art and pay money for it , it’s fine. but building a system where “monetary compensation” for art is not only justified but implented as law is a step in the wrong direction. in the bible, jesus throws the “greedy jews” out of the temple and forbids to make business there. i am not a big fan of religion but i understand what the author wanted to express with that. so all you greedy money-whore-jews, go fuck yourself ! yes and Dotcom can fuck himself too, installing adware on my pc to download music? i rather go back to emule
