The problem is no one has honor, when they know they won't be punished.

The MP3 Store
All of the songs on this page are 192K MP3s ? they are not copy protected in any way, so you can play them on whatever device you like. Songs that I wrote are licensed Creative Commons by-nc (covers and other stuff I don?t own are not). You can preview everything before you buy by clicking the little play button. Click the Info button next to a song to go to the wiki page for lyrics, guitar chords, and more.
You can pay with a credit card, Paypal or Google Checkout. After your payment goes through I?ll email you a link with some download instructions. If this seems too complicated to you, feel free to purchase through iTunes or whatever online music store you feel comfortable with. If you have any trouble with my store, you can send me an email.
Already Stole It?
No problem. If you?d like to donate some cash, you can do so through the PayPal link in the sidebar.

Donations
I give a lot of stuff away on this site, but it doesn?t mean that I don?t like money. Quite the contrary, I enjoy money very much, and would be happy to take some of yours. In fact, it would really be nice if I could make a living by making music ? which could actually happen if everyone who listened contributed just a little bit. If you?ve downloaded and enjoyed some of my music, why not take a second and donate whatever you think it?s worth?
Of course if you?d rather participate in a more traditional kind of commerce, you can always buy a CD or some individual songs. Either way, I really do appreciate your support.
Now, on with the rocking?

Oh, but wait. The money doesn't actually go to them. It goes to the "evil" record companies. There's always something with you idiots.

no evil record company to object to in the CC-SA model
your attempting to rationalize your demand for monopoly control
it not necessary open source proves that.
