New music artists have to compete with file sharing and torrents for Google listing their albums - GoFuckYourself.com

Jakez · 11-19-2010, 01:58 PM

Wacka Flocka Flame - Flockaveli - the entire listing consists of file sharing sites to download the album
Cassidy - C.A.S.H. - first link for the album is a file sharing site

Google really needs to start drawing lines somewhere.

The artists don't have enough movement behind them to push the better results like itunes to the top so it gets dominated by all the file sharing links going around.

How is someone supposed to come up like this? It's only going to make it easier for the record companies to push whatever artist they want and that artist will actually sell records because the company can afford to market it more and have the 'buy' results at the top..

I think the internet is going to destroy us all in 2012.

if i have product and i dont know how to promote it i failed. their music is just a product, if they cannot sell it they are like many many other people in many many other industries ...

but unwanted competition like that is not good of course ...

If nobody has ever heard of them who's going to be sharing the files?

Very true and I thought about this, Eminem even posted his entire album on Myspace (probably was paid to do so) days before release, but still..

The tens of thousands of people who download the albums from searching for them in Google? People have heard of them, but they're more like 5-20,000 sales first week artists and not some mainstream 150,000+ stuff.

the market for independent musicians has never been better, it so easy to get found, and if you understand the market properly so fucking easy to get people to pay for your shit.

the ass raping you give us 90% off the top and pay for all the shit out of your 10% is going to die, and good riddence

I think it's about the quality of the music. If the music is really high quality, the fans will come.

the music itself doesn't hold the same value it used to 10 years ago.

these days music is more like what a campaign speech would be to a politician
