mininova got there second, jamendo was first, the next wave is gonna be awesome for artists and fans both i promise you we are all working hard on coding those new systems

filesharing is a community based organic culture only as good as the people who participate. now the artists are onboard, things can only get better

h33t.com where 6 girls in 4 weeks is not unusual at this time of year

Nice use of the API, kudos!!

Can you imagine someone actually making it convenient at the clock of a mouse to give the potential customer a choice whether or not to pay for something that they can get for free? That is giving the consumer the ultimate power and control and consumers love that.As oppossed to attacking and threatening a consumer and extorting money from innocent people. The correct business plan should be obvious.

Imagine if one day you could completely bypass the massive money eating machine. Instead pay the artist diirectly and letting the artist decide when and how much they should pay the executives who had been paying themselves millions while the artists work their asses off. Imagine the incredible influx of new artists and content and just imagine the greater evolution in entertainment as well as a massive thrust in all of it’s innovation.

The sky has no limit. This can kill the RIAA and MPAA, it’s ilk, and end the monopoly of the eternally greedy self-serving selfish executives.

I hope this kills them off forever…the parasites that feed off of art.

Chear up, and have a cookie ;)

“It will fail miserably as we all want free music.”

Who cares if Mininova uses The Pirate Bay trackers – you know how many other sites and individuals use TPB tracker … oh and BTW retards, there’s plenty of other open trackers.

Your all a bunch of retarded noobs who think The Pirate Bay ad Mininova are good torrent sites. Stay there please, leave use superior private tracker users in peace, we will always own you and yuo will nevber know it you stupid muppets.

This idea is doomed to fail, they will make a tiny amounbt of money; not even enough to cover the cost to Mininova’s crappy service.

@31 what did you expect?
EMI or SonyBMG?

Doesn’t matter what label anyway, what matters is that this is a step into the right direction.

Who?

Never heard of this apparently marginal label and its completely unknow artists.

Again an exaggerated story….

Call me paranoid..
back to my cocaine ! =)

(has TorrentFreak covered that story yet?)

I agree… works good too.

To the point;

Good innitiative, keep it up.

Still though, this is only one label. Mininova needs to get some bigger labels on board. And when I mean bigger, I mean bigger independent labels. The bosses of RIAA and BPI-member labels would probably have a heart attack at the prospect of a new distribution system =P

Nice use of the API, kudos!!

Only those files that get special treatment, yes. Mininova should start an open tracker for everyone to use, just like TPB has done. That’s one of the many reasons to why I NEVER visit Mininova.

your free ride is over.”
It is a step towards marginalizing the part of culture that the IFPI, RIAA, &c. has control over, but there is still a long way to go.

it’s even worse. Our full name is Beep! Beep! Back up the Truck ;)

“Mininova’s content distribution platform has been around since 2007. All files published on the content distribution platform are both tracked and seeded by Mininova. This ensures high download speeds while the publishers don’t have to worry about seeding the files themselves.”

Mininova not only tracks these releases themselves, but also has dedicated seed servers for them.

surely not!

seriously though, good move, hope it pans out well or it will be hoisted in the air and paraded at how bt can’t help artists even when they try etc etc

good publicity for Beep! Beep! [will be giving them a look when previously had never heard of them]
