This is is the the type of model I believe would bring the most success to artists. Hopefully they will not stop with just giving the artist a medium to share their music. They should take it one step further by helping the artist go from having songs to having songs in digital format. This could be accomplished with tutorials on how to make your own recording where it can be done and what can be used to make them outside a sound studio using your computer. On top of a tutorials a store should be set up so as people familiar with the artists material they can later browse their merchandise and support them through the store. They should even go so far as to simplify the business connections for artists by giving them contact information to venues radio stations possible investors for a tours and a online/offline ticket office system. If these measures were all placed on one site while offering music for free I think you would see a huge change in the industry.

I think that eventually ads will replace pay sites….but this idea IS a very good one….though I doubt it will be taken seriously by the music industry as they see TPB as a bunch of “pirates”anyway.
