http://members.cdbaby.com/sell-on-itunes.aspx the service costs a whopping $40!

The point was there are already alternatives that exist. None have roots of millions of dollars in piracy and none are being shut down.
cdbaby acts as the record company for itunes and takes 9% for that "service"

they take 25% of all the sales they make that two and a half times as much as mega upload was going to charge


and they paid artist to give their stuff away for free (which none of those services do).

like i said before

seriously if this was years in the coming, want to explain why they could have waited say 2-3 months to properly plan out how to protect all the independent artist who are getting fucked out $7-9 grand a year from the current program BEFORE they started this take down.


don't you think the fed saying the site is up for all the legitimate user of the site, but if you upload any pirated content we now are logging your ip address info, that all the piracy would have stopped cold too, of course it would have.
