i will always offer my songs for free.
i think if people give a fuck about you they don't mind sending you money or buying your shit because it's more of a thank you than anything else.
musicians need to realize that they are nothing without their fanbase and by not catering to their fans they are going to make a lot less money.
people pirate music and software in part because it is inherently "bad" and "illegal" and it's just human nature to go against the grain. if you offer your music freely, granted, some people are forever going to be cheapskates. some, however, won't mind tossing a few bucks your way because they truthfully like your music.
in short, it's all about the music.
you are not your fucking job
you are not your fucking khakis
