paulo coelho was sharing his stuff since he started when his book only had a print run of 900 copies.
He gave back the advance and went into debt writing his second book when the publisher objected to him sharing.
Paulo Coelho has "street cred" because he has been pro sharing even when it was not popular.
He proved the effectiveness of sharing as a marketing tools.
The only difference between the radio and piracy is the tiny insignificant liciencing fee that the artist get after the record companies take their "rightful share"
If you an independent artist you can make that back easy.
